[It's been a long time since Serph's disappearance. Maybe it seemed like he wasn't going to be coming back to Vatheon.

But if you happen to be passing through the Plaza, there's someone appearing out of thin air and... falling into one of the fountains with a great splash. If you're curious enough to look at the water, it's gaining a reddish tinge.

...Yeah, that's blood mixing with the water.

But wait long enough, and there's a guy pulling himself out of the fountain, looking like a drowned rat. There's a break in his abdominal armour. But while there are some stubborn bits of blood at the break's edges, there's no wound in the flesh underneath; the skin is unmarked, like it had been healed perfectly.

Serph's back. And he's alive.

...And totally dripping water all over the Plaza again.]

It's a smaller version of a church, but you take up residence there instead of only going once or more a day for services. An Abbot also serves as the authority of the abbey and only members of the same gender are allowed to be brought in. Thus, we don't allow members of the opposite gender in as it goes against the rules. Honestly though, I don't recommend you live in one. Until you become of age where you're allowed to leave, you're obligated to isolate yourself from the world.

[But what is a church...? And why no opposite genders in the abbey? But most importantly...]

Why must members be isolated?

[That makes very little sense to Serph.]

We are allowed limited contact with the outside world because the church considers anything outside of its walls to be sinful or full of wrongs that the Goddess frowns upon. It is our duty as priests and templars of the Goddess to help guide people to the Goddess so they may be saved from a life of damnation. So because of that belief, we must keep our human shells cleansed and purified of any impurities from the outside world. [He laughs a little.] I broke this rule at age fifteen.
