Father Alexander
He is ready for anything. Something broke in him - quietly, almost imperceptibly, but completely. He no longer seeks the meaning of life, does not cling to hope as much as before. Only a shadow of his former stubbornness still keeps him on his feet. He is overcome by a heavy, viscous sadness when he realizes: it is not the demon who is to blame... he himself is to blame. He couldn't. Didn't have time. He didn’t save either his wife or his parents. These thoughts return again and again, time after time, like a punishment from which it is impossible to escape. He feels superfluous, lost among the living. As if his place had been empty for a long time, and by some mistake he was still here. And yet he continues to move forward. For the sake of the church. For the sake of those who still believe - in him, in the light, in salvation. And perhaps... even for the sake of the demon who became his curse and strange, persistent companion. Sometimes it seems to him that this is his redemption - to live on, no matter what, bearing the burden of guilt, which only becomes heavier every day.
