Killed Me? Now I Have Your Power

Chapter 46 – A Smile of Sorrow

Inside a beautiful church, a girl knelt in front of a statue.

But to call it merely beautiful would be an insult.

It was a stunning structure—a perfect blend of ancient architecture and modern construction, both divine and oppressive, sacred and suffocating. A place carved from reverence and something darker.

The walls were painted a dull, lifeless grey—a color so bland, so cold, so utterly wrong for a church that it felt like a mistake. Like a void. Like something that had been drained of soul.

But then again... it all depended on what kind of church it was.

And what a funny question that was, really.

A church, after all, was supposed to be a place where people came to find peace. Where they could stand in the presence of their god and find clarity, comfort, and meaning.

That was what a church was meant to be.

So what, then, was the purpose of the Church of Sorrow?

’Bunch of lunatics,’ Rea thought to herself, head bowed beneath the statue of a woman with a weeping mask and shadowed eyes.
