🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Bowing before the statue, the acolyte lets a short monologue flow through him, directly into the divine realm; his face, with his eyes closed, displays various emotions at different moments, as if he were saying it aloud: "Oh, Shiri, I... hope you don't mind this approach? My friend said that you might like it, so I thought I'd try. So, you know what I have done with my own hands and under what circumstances. You know all my possible excuses, but they don't change the essence - it was done. I cannot say when and how, but I intend to get to the bottom of the truth and bring the guilty - and those besides myself - to justice. I am still sure that this was not my own doing; you surely know why, because you see me through and through. I know that this is not in your nature, but still, let me ask you to grant peace to Kerria's soul, if possible. She is innocent, and her fate should have unfolded differently. At least, that's how I see it. Maybe someday I will meet her again and apologize, but until then, I will have to bear the burden of this mistake on my shoulders. Well, that's fine; I am ready for it. In general, I will try to fulfill the mission that I have been entrusted with and finish my own business. I might even ask you for a blessing for these things, but after what happened, it doesn't feel right. Let's do it this way - I will show you what a person who has been put in these circumstances is capable of, and then we'll see where it leads us. That's it. That's probably all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening, and for all your help." Having finished with this, he returns to the world of the living. - What calculations are you talking about? Do you have some special formula for parishioners, your holiness? By the way, are there any paintings left for sale?
