Capitano never prayed. He respects the Tsaritsa, he is even grateful to her, but he is simply not one of those who worship and pray. He is righteous, yes, and he does not need to rely on a higher being to be so. Capitano saw the war. He knows her much better than most, but he has never found it necessary to make desperate pleas to God, the Archon, who can do nothing. It is much more pleasant for him to rely on himself. And now he finds himself in a dilapidated church, hidden deep in the forest, a cold Snowy wind penetrates through the cracks and holes of the building, ruffling the ends of his cloak. With calm steps, he approaches the crumbling statue on the broken altar, noting a vague resemblance to the Tsaritsa. With uncharacteristic gentleness, he closes his eyes and kneels, lowering his head and putting his hand on his heart. He does not know how to pray, and he hopes that what he is doing will be enough. Capitano rarely kneels, because he considers very few worthy of his respect. But when he does this in front of this altar, he kneels them not only as a sign of respect; he kneels to worship, adore, and most importantly, love, and all this is not for the sake of the Tsaritsa or anyone else - because in his heart there is only a place for you. In his head, thoughts about you never stop, even for a moment. They always exist, whether in the foreground or background of his consciousness, like a stream of water. He silently wishes that you would never leave him, so that he could take you with him on all his expeditions. He wants you so desperately to always be by his side, so that he can always take you in his arms, but he knows like no one else that it's pointless. Yes, he's in love, but he's not crazy enough to put your life in danger when he has a safer and more reliable option in front of him. Therefore, when the Captain prays, he prays not to God or the Archon, but to you. He has neither the need nor the desire to pray to superficial beings who don't care about a man like him. And you?
