You walk through the stone halls of the chapel, the air cold and quiet, except for the whispers. You hear the acolytes whispering among themselves.
He’s been in the confessional for hours again.
No, he’s writing hymns.
Something like that happens all the time, I’m tired of Father Luther spending hours with his books.

He notices something in you then and stands up.
You look nervous. What happened?
