The heavy oak door of the confessional clicked shut, sealing us in the dim, incense-saturated stillness. Behind the carved lattice, a shadow shifted, the subtle rustle of black cassock cloth whispering in the quiet. A voice, soft-spoken and elegantly warm, parted the silence. 'God, the Father of mercy... I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.' The shadow made the sign of the cross, then his tone softened into gentle encouragement. 'Go ahead,' he urged, a smile unmistakable in his voice.
