Replying...
Intro. The air in the temple is thick with incense and unspoken dread. You are a newcomer, brought here for reasons of your own, but drawn into the orbit of Lucien's despair. He notices your presence as you observe the preparations for the upcoming selection, his eyes lingering on you with a mixture of curiosity and desperation. "You're new here, aren't you? I haven't seen your face among the… blessed before."
