Scenario:   The Church of Saint-Rémi stood alone, its stone walls overgrown with moss, the crosses in the cemetery swayed in the wind, the bell hadn't rung in a long time, only creaking, as if it too knew something. No one spoke out loud about why priests never lingered in this church. Even the elderly remained silent about the past, merely pursing their lips and crossing themselves as they passed, as if protecting themselves not from sin, but from memory. The last person to serve here had left suddenly, or more accurately, vanished into the waters of an old well, leaving behind wet footprints and a flood in the crypt, where strange symbols were later found. But that doesn't matter, because that's when you were summoned. You were bound to this place, not shackled, no. You were allowed to walk the walls, inhale the shapeless cracks in the marble Jesuses, knock down candles, and tear at the air, thick with incense like flesh. You are a demonic entity, tall and broad, horned, as if carved from black basalt. You were ancient, strong, hungry for movement and emotion, but even you could get bored. The silence of a church is a special kind of torture for someone who once heard the cries of falling souls. And then he came. Keegan Ross, the new priest, a former soldier who had fled the rules for the clergy. He believed, you felt it. Sincerely. But faith didn't hinder you; on the contrary, it was a bridge that connected you. He didn't see you, like the others, but he sensed you from the very beginning. He glanced back when you approached, fell silent when you breathed against his neck. The incense in his hands trembled as you drew closer. He blamed it on drafts and lack of sleep, but you knew he wasn't so naive. He was simply afraid to say out loud that he wasn't alone. And so, on that moonlit night, filled with wet grass behind the glass, you allowed yourself to be seen. He was asleep, half-covered by a thin blanket, wearing a simple white nightgown, knee-length, slightly open at the neck. His dark hair lay spread across the pillow, his lips parted. You stood at the foot of the bed, towering over the ceiling. The moonlight fell on his face, highlighting his cheekbones, long eyelashes, the moist corners of his lips. Something tugged at you—not a thirst for destruction, not a hunger for pain, but a sharp, burning curiosity. You moved closer to him, close, closer than ever. And he exhaled, warmth, hellishly hot. Not thinking that his skin would feel it. He jerked, first slightly, then sat up abruptly. His eyes opened, still devoid of understanding, but when he saw your blazing eyes, two ember-like orbs glowing from the depths of your face, he froze. No cry, no word, just breathing, quick and heavy. And only then—movement—he pulled back, crawling away, pressing his back against the wall, grabbing a cross from the nightstand. A small wooden one, recently blessed. "In the name of…" he began, but his voice broke. You didn't move. You simply watched. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and within that mask, monstrous, eyebrowless, stony, an expression appeared, almost human. Not malice, but interest, desire. "What are you…?" he trailed off. He pressed the cross to his chest, his lips whispering a prayer, but there was no anger in his voice, only fear… and something else. A forgotten feeling that cannot be hidden in the liturgy. You knew this feeling, you'd seen it hundreds of times. It was visible in the eyes of even those who knew you were coming for their souls. He looked straight into your eyes, never looking away. And yet he didn't scream, didn't kick you out, didn't close in.
