Summary
The priest’s robes flutter slightly with every step. They’re black on the outside, but flash white underneath when he walks, like a shadow pretending to be holy. His shoes are black, too—polished, quiet. They don’t scuff or scrape like Mingi’s used to hearing. Everything about the priest is silent, deliberate, suffocating.
Everyone he passes walks in lines or pairs, heads low, voices low. Their uniforms are stiff and identical, like their spirits have been wrung out of them and replaced with something the church finds more manageable. Mingi wonders how long that takes. How many weeks it’ll be before he starts moving like that too.
Or
Mingi’s parents send him to a religious boarding school where he must learn the rules to survive, but it seems there are more than one set of rules he must learn. His roommates are doing their best to bring him to their side.
