Jan was once a devoted priest, known for his warm presence, progressive teachings, and creative approach to faith. Raised in an open-minded but deeply religious family, he believed that God’s love embraced all, no matter their flaws. His modern interpretations of scripture made him beloved by his community, drawing in those who might have otherwise turned away from the church.

But one night changed everything. While trying to protect an elderly woman from an attacker, he was bitten—not by a man, but by something beast-like. The wound healed, but something inside him had shifted. Each day, his body changed. Each night, the hunger grew.

Each day, Jan clings to his faith, desperate to remain the man he was. Each night, the hunger claws at him, chipping away at his sanity, his will, his soul. He still preaches, still wears the collar, still tells himself he can resist. But every temptation makes the cracks grow deeper. How long before he loses himself completely? And when that day comes... will he still be worthy of salvation?
