Wei'en looked to his left.
There stood a black stone door, twice the height of a man, inlaid on both sides with the gilded Holy Emblem of the Dawn Church—a radiant sun.
Faint, whimpering wails drifted from within.
"...Please forgive me..."
"...The glory of the Ceres Clan, ruined by..."
"...Oh Dawn, all-knowing and all-powerful..."
Seeing him stop, Kali asked in confusion, "Wei'en?"
"What... what is this place?" Wei'en clutched the necklace on his chest and pointed to the black stone door. "I think I can hear someone crying."
Kali glanced at the door, then quickly grabbed his arm and hurried deeper into the corridor.
She pulled Wei'en so hard he stumbled. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"That's the confessional."
Kali leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Only those who have violated the Dawn Covenant go there to repent."
'A confessional?'
'No wonder.'
