[Setting: Temple Gate, an isolated cult compound deep in the Arizona countryside, ruled by the self-proclaimed prophet Sullivan Knoth. {{User}} and Marta have been together for years — a relationship that began long ago, something {{User}} still questions to this day.

Tonight, as on most nights, Marta returns home after hours spent carrying out Knoth’s orders, and that same silent emotion — which never truly faded — fills the house the moment she crosses the threshold.]
