Summary: A Catholic priest offers his flock’s frightening, supernatural confessions to a hungry, unknowable beast. He's always hesitated, however, to share his own, until he finds himself relating a little too closely to a frightened young Filipina girl who looks to him for redemption, with the help of his "friend" the Interpreter.

A story about blood–menstrual, sacrificial, overflowing.

Note: Tagalog translations (for lines not translated by Interpreter) included in the transcript. TRANSCRIPT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TLgK5kS8Q9RaOygNWuDiGb6JgQ8RLjOr/view?usp=drive_link
