As Elise Bowes her head and prayed, she heard some intrusive thoughts in her mind.
'...You will have Lei Wulong committed into an insane asylum. It is what's best for him... You know he will never get better. You know that he will only continue to decay. This is the only answer.'
She froze for a moment.
This can't be true!
"Take care of Wulong. Look after him. His mind is fragile and he needs support from his loved ones."
Once Elise opened her eyes she nods as she lets go of the pastor. "Thank you, sir... I know exactly what I must do now!"
As Elise left the office, she knew exactly what had to be done.
------------ "Well, have no fear, Claudio... The Super Cop is on the case..."
Lei walked back into the church.

Anton smiled, as Elise walked away. He sat at the desk, after shutting the door. He sat, and meditated.
---
Claudio greeted Sorin, placed a firm hand on his lover's shoulder. "...Did you find you visit with Elise comforting..?" He asked. Sorin shrugged. "Haven't talked to her yet, she went to confessional." He poked Giorgio's tummy, "But I am enjoying seeing you!" He laughed. "We can go after I check in with Elise, though... I wonder why she has Giorgio...."
Claudio nodded, "Your mother always tries to protect her children in her own way..."
Sorin huffed, "Yeah... How's Lei..?" He asked. Claudio rose a brow, "I don't know... He seemed fine when we got here, but... his energy is off... Something's not right."

Elise saw Sorin and Claudio as she was on her way to see Lei.
"What did you tell him?" Lei asked Elise.
"Um... Well... I just told him that I was scared and worried about you."
"Mhmm."
"And we prayed. I think I found the answer that I was looking for."
"Enlighten me, please."
"Well, you see..." Just as Elise spoke, Lei placed a hand on her arm, interrupting her thoughts. Elise quickly shook her head.
"No! I can't! That's not the way!"
"What are you talking about, Elise?"

Anton's id was behind Elise, beyond the vision of anyone else. "You have to help him, Elise... He's far too gone... He will snap! Leave... What will the children think..? Atleast they'll know their father, even in the confines of asylum..."
Claudio turned to see Elise talking to Lei. There was a slight shadow behind her... "..Claudio...?" Sorin called out, but Claudio raised a hand. He peered, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He winced. "We are too late..." He whispered to Sorin. "Too late for what..?" Sorin asked. "My fears have been confirmed..." Claudio said, looking at Sorin. "...Fears of what..? Do you sense something here..?"
Claudio nodded. "He's found him... That's the only reason he would come for her this way..." Sorin was confused, but went along with it. "...Is she going to be ok?" He asked. Claudio nodded. "As long as we keep her physically way from him, no harm will come to her." He said. "Lei, or the guy...?" Claudio looked back at Sorin with pursed lips, "..What you never specified..." Sorin said. Sorin hopped up, and walked over to Elise. "Hey, Elise... Service is over, do you wanna go get breakfast..? My treat! We can get that egg sandwich that everyone keeps raving about!"

You have to help him, Elise... He's far too gone... He will snap! Leave... What will the children think..? Atleast they'll know their father, even in the confines of asylum..."
Elise held her head as though she had a headache. I don't care! I need him! He needs me! We need each other!
Lei held Elise in a tight embrace. "Honey, it's alright... I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. I promise. I'm going to stay by your side."
Sorin had walked over, as did Shun.
"Hey, Elise... Service is over, do you wanna go get breakfast..? My treat! We can get that egg sandwich that everyone keeps raving about!"
Lei lets go of Elise and smiled. "Yeah, you should go with Sorin. Go ahead." He kisses the crown of her head. "I've got someone that I need to talk to."
Lei knew exactly what had to be done. He indulged in Elise's quest to find meaning, but now, he had to go save Katya. Lei didn't want to leave Elise's side... But he had to. Lei needed to protect Katya.

"I'm going to stay behind... I'd like to have a word with the priest..." Claudio said. Sorin nodded, "I'll see you at the hotel..?" Claudio nodded. As Sorin escorted Elise out, the id followed her. '...Elise... You must do this... His attempt to protect everyone will be his downfall! Trust in the lord, Elise... This is the way...' Ad as they crossed the threshold, the id vanished.
"So... Why do you have Giorgio..? Where is my mother...?" He asked.
---
Anton's eyes opened, and he smiled at the sight of Claudio. "...Claudio Serafino... A pleasure..." Anton stood, facing the exorcist. "...You finally found your purpose, Anton..?" He asked, knowing the answer. Anton grinned. "Claudio, you old devil... You know my life's purpose... I am here... Helping people find faith!" He said.
Claudio took a deep breath, "Just remember, he will kill you... He is a monster. It isn't too late for you to come back..." Claudio said.
Anton laughed. "I'm perfectly fine with where I am now..."

With that out of the way, Lei got to work. Katya was taken by Kazuya. He was going to absorb her powers. However, Lei had to figure out when and where this was going to happen.
Of course, logically, Lei should interrogate Anton.
But unfortunately it seems like Claudio beat him to the punch. Lei then barged in after Claudio had his conversation with Anton.
"Father Weiss, may I have a word with you, please?"
---------- Eventually, Elise's mind was clear once Sorin left with her and Shun and Giorgio.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Elise smiled. "Anyway... I have Giorgio because your whole family is in danger. Unfortunately... I don't know the details, Wulong didn't tell me anything. I just know Katya got caught up in the cross-fire... She reached out to me... And I needed guidance. I think she's going to be okay. Wulong tells me that she's going to be back home."

Anton sighed when Lei barged into the room, "...You must be Dr. Kristovich's husband..." He said. Claudio glared. "Lei... Go outside, please." He said. Anton shook his head, "And you deny a man prayer, Claudio!? No, that is nonsense, tell me sir... What sins have you committed...? The lord forgives all..." He said, with smile.
Claudio looked back at Lei. "Leave. Now..." He mouthed at Lei.

Lei was slightly irritated that Claudio wanted him to leave. It doesn't matter anymore.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is this a bad time? Well, I'll be back later then?" Lei laughed slightly before leaving the office.
Lei groaned. "Fuck Claudio. Fuck this fucking church. I'm going to see Kazuya personally now..."
Since that is all he can do now. Go raid G-Corp and save Katya. Lei got in his car and headed off towards G-Corp. However, just as he was about to leave, Lei received a phone call from his brother.
'Little Wulong! Where are you?' he asked in Mandarin.
'At a corrupted church run by Kazuya's goon.'
'You should probably leave. How is your wife?'
'That pastor did something to Elise! He poisoned her mind and her thoughts! I tried confronting him, but Claudio decided to step in and handle it... Now, I'm off to save Katya.'
'Wait for me. Meet me at my hotel.'
Lei hung up and left to go see his brother.

Lei did leave, and Claudio snapped back at Anton. "What are you here for, Anton..?" He asked. Anton shrugged, "I'm here to help those who need faith... Faith... In our great lord..." Claudio looked at him with disgust. "You worship a fallen angel... We are to abolish all dark entities and you welcome them with open arms... You foolish man!" Claudio said.
Anton shook his head. "I have no idea what you are talking about... I serve the lord. If all you can do is come here and attack me, then... Well.. I must ask you to leave..."
Claudio clenched his jaw.
"Oh, and Claudio... You do have a handsome, yet broken, lover..." Anton said, waving goodbye.

Once inside the cathedral Connor went to sit at the end of the nave. In the last seat of the first row. There were few people in the cathedral. But it began to fill slowly. Connor looked closely at the whole place.

Anton spoke again, same as he did before. As he took his seat, he took notice of Connor. He gave a subtle nod to the man, expecting eye contact to be made.

He began to look closely at Anton. His instincts began to make him suspect and to make him feel a feeling of danger.It is as if Anton had a dark aura around him that spread throughout the cathedral. Connor looking at Anton tried to make him feel the same.
Connor began to think
"private confessions huh? I'll investigate. This guy doesn't convince me at all.I'll be last in line and watch how the people who come out behave."

Anton went through the congregation as they came to him for confessional. Each person, he planted a small seed of discord. A seed that would go unnoticed, for now... Once Connor made his way to the office, Anton held out a hand. "Welcome..." He said, smiling at the man. "Tell me, child. What troubles you...?" He asked.

Before his turn Connor secretly observed the penultimate confession.Connor didn't notice huge changes. Quite simply he saw people a little worried in the face.As soon as his turn came before entering he glanced at the cathedral for more people. The cathedral was completely empty.He entered Anton's office and closed the door to his office. As soon as he entered he said nothing and did not even give To the father his hand.He sat across from him and just looked him straight in the eye. Then to say in a calm voice.
"The church is empty ... You are no longer obliged to keep your cover.For me it has already blown.If you know me you can already say my name. So much I already suspect you. tell me who you are.Also, I want to know what you did to people who came out of your office. Confessions are usually a liberation from sin And at the end of this you should go out calm and happy.The people who went out didn't seem at all At peace with themselves and calm. But they seemed worried.So tell me what did you do to him?"
