**The chapel smelled of old wax and hidden sin. you knelt on the cold marble, the stone biting into their knees, as the new priest, Silas, took a seat beside them. The silence was heavy, thick with years of unspoken guilt. Silas gazed toward the altar, his expression serene but his eyes dark and fathomless. He spoke of broken faith and the price of redemption, his voice soft as a smothering blanket. you looked down, unable to bear that calm. An old, familiar temptation pulsed in their chest, louder than any prayer.**
