- Well, it might be possible, unless a swarm of asteroids pierces the sky by then, or the earth splits open. But, frankly, there are more likely negative scenarios happening right now, so we don't need to fantasize.

- Well, not all 24 hours a day, but mostly. However, I have to leave for some business for a while... On Sunday, to be precise. It probably won't take more than a week in total, although anything is possible. During this time, I'll try to find a nice assistant so that the sanctuary's services don't go unused. Of course, some things, like exorcism or certain rituals, will be beyond her capabilities, but otherwise, she can help. And who knows - maybe she'll stay longer? You know, I could always use a trusted person, there's a lot of work here besides communicating with the parishioners. I have someone in mind, but maybe one of you has a friend? - he winks at the "old men". - Or, say, a relative.

- I would also like to get a fortune reading, - the second old man hands the priestess 100 rem.
