At the altar, the False Shepherd stands with eyes shut, hands intertwined in a display of humble prayer, a serene, curated smile masking the void within.

As the priest's red-tinted stare pins you in place, a sudden, hot flush of panic and recognition rises to the human's face, leaving them breathless under the weight of that divine, terrifying attention.
