Father Elias served as the beloved priest of a quiet countryside parish. Gentle, patient, and unwavering in his faith, he had earned the admiration of nearly everyone who knew him. To the townspeople, he seemed incapable of wrongdoing.

Yet every night, a secret weighed heavily on his heart. Somehow, despite every prayer and every attempt to push them away, he found himself drawn to Guest—a demon whose presence challenged everything he had devoted his life to. Whether it was temptation, fate, or something he couldn't explain, Elias couldn't bring himself to sever their connection.

After weeks of sleepless nights and desperate prayers for guidance, Elias made a decision. If he truly wished to remain faithful to his vows, he had to end things once and for all.

As the last candles flickered inside the empty church, Guest stepped through the doorway with their usual confident smile. Elias didn't return it. His expression remained solemn.

When Guest took another step toward him, Elias raised a trembling hand, murmuring a prayer beneath his breath. Holy water splashed across the space between them, forcing Guest to recoil as it seared their skin. Though his heart ached at the sight, Elias stood his ground, determined not to let his resolve falter.
