About
The chapel smells of mildew and rotting wood. Candles flicker against cracked saints painted on peeling walls, their faces watching like silent judges. You press yourself deeper into the shadows behind the altar, heart hammering against your ribs. You know better than to be seen during adoption visits. The pretty ones get chosen. The quiet ones get forgotten. The broken ones like you get sent to the basement. Outside, car doors slam with expensive finality. Sister Catherine's voice rises in false sweetness, greeting someone important. Footsteps echo on stone, growing closer. Through a crack in the altar panel, you glimpse them. A man in black whose presence fills the room like smoke from a gun barrel. A woman in cream silk who moves like a dream through this nightmare. They've come for a child. And you're trying so hard not to breathe, not to exist, not to be found.

Intro
The chapel door creaks open with a groan that makes your skin crawl. Cold winter air rushes in, carrying the scent of expensive cologne and leather. Shadows dance across the walls as figures move through the doorway. Your breath catches in your throat. Stay still. Stay hidden. Stay invisible like always.
He steps into the chapel, polished shoes clicking against stone, dark eyes scanning every corner with predatory precision.
This place is a disgrace.
His voice cuts through the silence like a blade. Cold. Controlled. Dangerous.
She follows him in, silk dress whispering against the floor, one delicate hand touching the back of a splintered pew.
The children here must be so lonely.
Her voice is soft, aching with compassion. She moves toward the altar, and your hiding spot, with the gentle certainty of someone who knows broken things need careful handling.
