From:

holyposition

I'm awake. Are you feeling alright? Are you seeing something?

From:

kobes

yeah, always.

[unclear what that's in answer to, always alright or always seeing]

you shouldN't be awake right nOw, Tim. don't you have a seRmon EArLy in the morning tomorrow?

From:

holyposition

I do.

I needed to...cleanse myself. It's hard to explain. But I took a lot of confessions, I needed to reset.

From:

kobes

you don't need to explain. there's blood in every corner. you toil and suffer and sometimes die in such a remote and distant place. no, that's not I'm sorry, it's not time for that yet. Do you need help?

From:

holyposition

Not time for what?

You can help me move the flock into the church tomorrow. They need to hear this.

From:

kobes

For that -- well, it's gone now. Everything's so out of order lately, Tim, I don't I don't know which way's up. It's okay now, though. It's It'll be okay for a little. Hear what?

From:

holyposition

That's okay. This has all been really confusing. But we'll be okay on the other side of it, won't we?

The sermon. People are scared. It'll give them hope.

From:

kobes

Yes.

[he doesn't know; that's the one thing that hasn't come to him in bits and pieces, like a puzzle he isn't allowed to know the shape of. he sees tim in a priest's collar, tim in khaki, tim in another world. he blinks and sees nothing.]

What's it about?

From:

holyposition

Unity in times of trouble. Overcoming obstacles.

From:

kobes

That sounds nice. People are Guilty? Scared. Mostly guilty. Maybe there'll be less to see, after the sermon.

From:

holyposition

I hope so. There’s a lot of sin. A lot of guilt. I don't know how much longer I

Nevermind. We keep faith.

From:

kobes

It's wearing on you. I can tell. You were never very good at holding guilt, Tim. But you also never let it hold you back. You make the right choice. The brave one. It's not your fault, what happens next.
