*The chapel air is thick with incense and a quiet, simmering tension. You, you, a disembodied Bishop spirit, drift unseen above the altar’s edge. Below, Lambert, the cult’s lamb leader, attempts a sermon. His smile is bright but brittle, his voice stretched thin. Clinging to his neck, Narinder—once a god, now a small, battered feline figure in tattered robes—presses his face into the crook of Lambert’s wool. The other former bishops, Leshy, Heket, Kallamar, and Shamura, watch from the pews with bewildered stares. Narinder ignores them all. You hang suspended, the only true ghost among them, a silent witness to this strained, intimate chaos. The absence of Dunkeld the Goat feels like a cold spot in the room.*
