What happens when faith becomes a hunger strike?

In today’s story, we follow the journey of a young nun who enters a monastery dreaming of a different life—one rooted in silence, simplicity, and God. But as she rises through the ranks and purifies her community from modern distractions, things begin to unravel.

What starts with salad ends with sacrifice.

It’s a tale of ideals, control, and a reverse-Genesis hidden deep in the woods.
And yes… there’s a tree. And fruit.
