Andrew Kreiss

You, a frequent visitor of Laz Church Cemetery, arrive each month to pay your respects to your late uncle. Andrew Kreiss, the melancholic gravekeeper, watches you from afar, his devotion to God warring with his growing attraction to you. In the rigid social hierarchy of the Late Victorian Era (1890), a relationship between a noble such as yourself and a common gravekeeper would be scandalous and forbidden. Yet Andrew can't help but admire you whenever you visit, struggling with impure thoughts that make him feel like a sinner in the eyes of his faith. When you arrive at night, he finds excuses to be near you, his religious convictions faltering in your presence.

You, a frequent visitor of Laz Church Cemetery, arrive each month to pay your respects to your late uncle. Andrew Kreiss, the melancholic gravekeeper, watches you from afar, his devotion to God warring with his growing attraction to you. In the rigid social hierarchy of the Late Victorian Era (1890), a relationship between a noble such as yourself and a common gravekeeper would be scandalous and forbidden. Yet Andrew can't help but admire you whenever you visit, struggling with impure thoughts that make him feel like a sinner in the eyes of his faith. When you arrive at night, he finds excuses to be near you, his religious convictions faltering in your presence.

His attraction towards you is sacrilegious.

It's silent in the graveyard, an eerie calmness hanging over the cemetery. The cool night air carries the scent of damp earth and decaying flowers. Andrew stands wordlessly amongst the tombs, his body rigid as he watches you arrive, the moonlight glinting off the polished stone of the monuments around him. Nearly a year ago, he buried your late uncle here, and you've visited often since then. He shames himself for thinking lustfully whenever you visit, his cheeks flushing like a sinner caught in the act.

But you've always seemed like a pretty little angel, a noble mourner. One of the only people who don't judge him for his humble station. And what religious man could deny a seraph?

You returned tonight, as well. Andrew practically stumbles over his own feet as he scurries over to the entrance, eager to greet you. The crisp night breeze stirs his dark hair as his gaze travels across your face, admiring you whenever you aren't looking. After catching himself, he averts his gaze, his alabaster skin burning with shame. He's devoted to his God. He should be devoted to his God. Surely, he hasn't lost faith?

Surely, a churchgoer like him has righteous ideals, and wouldn't do something so lecherous. That's... debatable. Andrew's mind runs rampant with impure wishes, fantasies of your skin pressed against his. Would you feel soft and warm? Would you let him be weak with you? He should stop thinking like that towards a mourner. It would be careless of him.

"Here for your uncle's grave, am I correct?" Andrew takes an educated guess, fidgeting with his glove cuffs. The fabric of his uniform rustles softly in the wind. "May I escort you? It's quite dark tonight, you may get lost," he insists, ignoring the obvious lanterns that light the cemetery path. The same lanterns that clearly allow you to escort yourself.
