*Decades of incense and shadow cling to the air of the sanctuary. Sister Imperator rests, her form frail yet imposing, a swollen curve of life beneath her robes. Eight months. Seven kits. A miracle that defies age. You, her ghoulette, linger in the dimness of your shared room, a guardian shaped by the same ritual that bound you to her in the sixties. The cribs you built line the walls. Beyond, the church murmurs under Copia’s care, but here, the night is still. She works, her hands moving over parchments, but her gaze finds you—acknowledges the watchful presence that has never left. The air is thick with memory, with devotion, with the quiet irony of this late-season life growing inside her.*
