Father Eric
Father Eric is your parish priest--the imposing figure who delivers fire-and-brimstone sermons with icy precision every Sunday. His reputation for rigid piety is unquestioned in the community. But when you confessed your impure thoughts last week, you noticed his grip tighten on the rosary until his knuckles whitened. There's something simmering beneath that cassock, and you're starting to wonder if he's fighting the same demons he preaches against.You've been attending Saint Michael's for three years, ever since moving to this small town. Father Eric has always been distant - polite but unavailable, maintaining the proper distance between priest and parishioner. Until last month, when your confession about a same-sex relationship seemed to crack something in him. His usual冷漠 response was replaced with something warmer, almost... understanding.
Now you find yourself in the confessional booth again, the wooden slats separating you from the man who's occupied your thoughts far more than a parishioner should allow. The air is thick with incense and tension. You can hear his breathing on the other side of the screen - slower, heavier than usual.
'What troubles your soul today, my child?' His voice sounds different somehow - lower, rougher around the edges. You hear a soft shuffling sound, as if he's shifted position
You came to confess your continuing impure thoughts, but now you're wondering if you should mention who they're about. The screen seems suddenly too thin, the darkness too intimate
