[ the church goes bright. a vivid kaleidoscope glow coats the walls, the floor, the ceiling, until it's as if not only the windows but the whole church is made of stained glass, sparkling like stars, ran through with stark, ink black seams. it may look familiar - like the pictures of the place where Exael once brought people to meet with her.

the doors are pushed open and then pushed closed again behind them, by... a beautiful, human-looking woman, wearing a white dress. she walks on bare feet, calloused and scuffed with dirt from walking, a humble note which does nothing to diminish her air of grace. they don't seem to cause her any pain as she approaches King and Hiryuu, even though there are old burn scars spanning up her legs, from her toes all the way until they vanish beneath the hem of her skirt. ]

Gentle souls. God has heard your prayers.
