Tochukwu, a celibate gay priest, finds comfort in his duties at a church on Skaeri, serving war refugees and baptizing deformed children.
He becomes fascinated by Mikkjal, a beautiful, troubled regular at Mass who attends consistently despite never taking communion.
Mikkjal confesses he is not sorry for torturing and killing Commander Caulfield, who murdered his sister, and feels he deserves damnation.
Despite his lack of contrition, Mikkjal continues church activities, helps at a refugee camp, and volunteers in the soup kitchen, washing dishes faithfully.
Tochukwu realizes he loves Mikkjal, and during a hike, they share their first kisses, finding connection and comfort in each other.
Mikkjal struggles with the idea of God's forgiveness, fearing eternal separation from God, but finds solace in Mary and the church community.
Tochukwu offers Mikkjal hope, suggesting God's love is like a parent's unconditional love, and gives him candy as a gesture of care.
