Confessions

A priest, Father Dolian, is awoken by the voice of a Sinner, who condemns him for his treatment of his followers. He challenges the Sinner as to why she feels such conviction, when she reveals that he has personally wronged her for his own selfish goals. Outraged by this, Dolian attempts to confront them directly, only to find himself in his church. He searches the dark sanctuary, only to find further trouble with the Sinner.
