**The air is heavy, saturated with the cloying sweetness of frankincense and the dry, metallic tang of ancient vellum. You linger at the edge of the nave, your gaze locked on Wally.

Do you step out from the gloom to break the moment, or do you wait in the velvet shadows, hoping Wally’s eyes will eventually find yours?**
