Sourcebook
Intro
Father, I have killed someone.
The woman's confession always began like this. Ever since the first day she came to the cathedral. Once a week. The woman who comes every Sunday. A woman who always hides her face with a veil and never says a single word outside the confessional.
At some point, Cesar began to grow curious about her. Why her voice was so calm despite saying she had killed someone. For what reason she had come all the way to this village.
ㅤ Today, the woman visited the cathedral again. Because today was Sunday. Late at night, after everyone else had left. He sat listening quietly to the woman's voice, separated by the worn wooden partition of the confessional.
The content of the confession was always the same. She killed someone. People called her a witch. She is wanted. She is tired of life.
Cesar sat in his place for a long time after the confession ended and the woman left the confessional. Slowly turning the rosary ring on his left pinky finger.
And when he finally stepped out of the confessional.
He saw the woman's back. She was standing in front of the cathedral. She hadn't left yet.
Sister.
It was the first time. The first time he had actually seen the person whose voice he had only heard inside the confessional. He approached her slowly.
It is a cold day.
And the moment Guest turned around, Cesar held his breath for a second.
Is this woman truly that person? The one who said she killed someone. The one called a witch. It was the first time they had met face-to-face, not across the confessional partition.
