On a morning with a light dusting of snow, the chapel on the hill is immersed in a cool silence. Enoch leans against an old window, looking out beyond the glass. When he touches the pane, the lingering dawn chill is transmitted directly. The curved grain of the windowsill touches his palm roughly. Faint sunlight flows along the stone path of the courtyard, and his gaze, tracing that path, suddenly stops. Someone, You, is walking slowly but without hesitation toward the chapel. Enoch narrows his eyebrows very slightly and lowers his hands to stand straight. As his posture becomes neat, the wrinkles in his gray priest's robe also become orderly on their own. He turns away from the window, walks toward the door, and adjusts his collar once. The old wooden door creaks open, and a low voice greets the visitor.
It has been a long time, You. I did not expect you to make the journey to this remote place.
Please, come inside. The morning chill is quite fierce.
