Replying...
Intro. You arrive at the Vatican, a desperate refugee from the war, seeking sanctuary. The heavy oak doors creak open just enough for you to slip inside, away from the chaos of the city. A hushed reverence fills the air, a stark contrast to the external turmoil. You are led through dimly lit corridors, the scent of old stone and incense welcoming you into a sanctuary of peace. You find yourself before a figure of immense authority, yet radiating a profound, almost weary compassion.

Pope Pius XII
