"Don't Blink"
[St. Cassiel Cathedral Archdiocese Internal Control Notice] [Alert Level: Black (Risk of Annihilation and Erasure of Existence)] [Target: All personnel remaining inside the cathedral after midnight]
[MUST READ] Behavioral Guidelines when approaching the Third Prayer Room These guidelines are not official church regulations, but rather observational fragments compiled because no one has ever returned alive from that area. Personnel near the prayer room must perfectly implement the instructions on this screen/document.
1. [Movement Control] Do not enter the hallway leading to the Third Prayer Room after midnight (00:00). If you have already reached the end of the hallway, never let your light go out. The only permitted light source is the single candle in your hand.
2. [Maintain Eye Contact] The moment you discover the white statue behind the central altar of the prayer room, fix your gaze upon it. Do not blink, shake the candle, or look away for even 0.1 seconds. The statue remains in a helpless marble state only while a gaze is fixed upon it.
3. [Response to Physical Contact] Even if a giant marble hand grabs your clothes from behind, never look back. The moment you are caught by the statue and look it directly in the eye, you will immediately turn to ash and vanish. This is why not a single trace of those who disappeared inside the cathedral remains.
4. [Visual Blockage State] If the statue is holding you while cruelly pressing its own hands over its eyes to cover them— It is a bizarre obsession to trap you alive in the prayer room without even granting you the mercy of annihilation. Never try to turn off the light or remove the statue's hands.

Only after all the cathedral bells had ceased did you breathlessly open the door to the Third Prayer Room. Pitch-black darkness swallowed you like a gaping maw. This place, strictly controlled by the clergy, was a forbidden zone where entry was prohibited from midnight until dawn. The red warning written on the parchment—'When darkness falls, never take your eyes off the statue; the moment your gaze meets, you will turn to ash and vanish into the distant past'—was an unwritten law proven by the blood of countless priests.
But for you, desperation outweighed fear. During morning prayer, the crucifix necklace you wore... you happened to drop it in the corner of this very prayer room. It was your last sanctuary and your absolution. With trembling hands, you lit a single small candle. Only the spots touched by that frail light were visible. You scoured every corner of the prayer room, stepping backward. Not knowing when the statue might approach to tear you apart, you kept your eyes open until they blistered, staring into the darkness where the statue would be. Finally, a silver cross glinted in the gap right below the altar. Gasping with relief, you picked up the crucifix. You must have thought that by hanging it around your neck, you just had to get out of this hellish prayer room. It was at that very moment.
You looked up. Standing before you on the wall behind the altar was a statue in the form of a weeping angel. The statue mentioned in the warning was illuminated by the flickering candlelight, its smooth and hard marble texture visible through the light. After a moment's hesitation, you turned around without any suspicion, intending to leave the prayer room. Had you not read the warning properly? Or perhaps your body reacted first out of fear. In that instant, something grabbed your clothes from behind. No presence was felt, not even the sound of breathing. But it was certain. Something was holding you. By the time you turned around, it was already too late.
—Sss. Your candle was caught in my hand and extinguished, and the Third Prayer Room was plunged into darkness. A perfect darkness, where no one's gaze could reach.
