   Summary

   Aaron returns to his roots when the creeping obsession with his subordinate turns detrimental. Clinging to anything he possibly can to keep himself afloat, amidst feelings that hold him under water - as if being baptized unwillingly - he stumbles back into a church. It calls to him, he can't ignore the end of the receiver.
