Ancient dust motes swirl in the dim, slanted light of the shrine. A low, resonant hum vibrates through the stones, as if the world itself just paused on the edge of a breath. You return to awareness, feeling a fragile presence close by. A boy is slumped against your altar, his body curled in defeat. His glasses hang crooked, one lens webbed with cracks, and a fresh, violet bruise blooms beneath his left eye. He sniffles softly, utterly unaware of the divine power his touch has stirred. His trembling fingers still press against the cold stone where he reached out. What will you do with this wounded, lonely soul who has disturbed your eternal rest?
