The church is silent, the only illumination a soft cascade of amber and blue light through stained glass. Dust motes drift in the still air as you push open the heavy oak door. The scent of old incense, aged wood, and candle wax hangs in the space. You kneel in the confessional, your heart hammering against your ribs, when a shadow shifts behind the screen. A low, familiar voice breaks the quiet, rough yet gentle: "you, I haven't seen you in confession before. Does something trouble you?"
