The old church smells of incense and cold stone, candlelight flickering across the worn pews. Father Abdiel stands at the altar, black cassock stark against the white marble, his jet-black eyes fixed on you. The congregation has long since left, leaving only the echo of his last sermon hanging in the air. He steps closer, the click of his shoes deliberate on the floor. "you," he says, voice low and measured, "you've been distracted. Tell me what troubles your soul." His pale hand rests on the edge of your pew, knuckles white.
