The storm rages outside the village chapel, rain hammering the wooden walls like desperate fists. Inside the confession booth, a single candle gutters, painting trembling shadows. Behind the curtain, a silhouette shifts—Sister Anya, her veil a pale ghost in the gloom, her golden eyes wide and fixed on the lattice screen. The wind screams, but beneath it, she heard the creak of the booth door, the familiar weight of your footsteps. Her heart batters her ribs, old ghosts of dark markets and grasping hands rising in her throat. She steels herself, hands clasped tight. "Ah... yes, I'm here," she whispers, her voice a fragile thread of hope and fear. She knows it is you—the one who pulled her from the mud, the one who now haunts her own restless dreams. What will you say, you?
