Y’all know how truly devastating it would be to have a child you love but can never have a relationship with because your daughter is the result of an affair and you’re a fcking priest so it’s not like you can just drop everything. and slowly over time your mind fails you until one day by chance you get lost in Israel and come across what your mind hopes is an ANgeL that fcking exsanguinates you but then very kindly gives you its own blood in return that makes you young again. so naturally you package this thing up with bubble wrap and bring it home to revitalize your ailing lover as well as help out the failing community you served for decades ONLY for everything possible to go wrong and your daughter is murdered in front of you and all you end up gaining in the end is a short while to sit with the love of your youth and hold your dead child in your lap while you wait to die.
