CXVI. Confesiones de la Hora de las Brujas



**Setting:** A dimly lit chamber, shadows flickering on the stone walls. Crystal sits confidently, her demeanor calm and collected, while the Grand Inquisitor looms over her, his expression a mix of authority and suspicion.

---

**Grand Inquisitor:** (sternly) You stand accused of witchcraft, Crystal. How do you plead?

**Crystal:** (smirking) Accusations often reveal more about the accuser than the accused. But tell me, what truth do you seek in this inquiry?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (frowning) I seek to root out evil! Your dark arts threaten our very existence.

**Crystal:** (leaning back) Dark arts? Or perhaps just a reflection of your own darkness? What is it that truly frightens you about me?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (defensive) I fear nothing! I am here to uphold justice!

**Crystal:** Justice? Is that what you call it? Or is it a desperate attempt to earn your mother’s approval? Tell me, did she ever praise you for your deeds, or was she always looking for something more?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (visibly shaken) My mother was proud of me! I serve the church for her sake!

**Crystal:** Proud? Or perhaps she demanded perfection? Did she ever compare you to others, making you feel inadequate? 

**Grand Inquisitor:** (clenching fists) You know nothing of my relationship with her!

**Crystal:** (with a sly smile) But I see the echoes of it in your actions. Were you not the boy who tried so hard to impress her? Did you not wear that ridiculous outfit to church just to hear her say you looked like a good son?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (flustered) That was years ago! It has nothing to do with this!

**Crystal:** (leaning closer) Yet here we are. You still seek validation in every decree you make. Wasn’t there a time when she would scold you for being too soft? Did that not drive you to become this… tyrant before me?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (voice trembling) I am no tyrant! I protect our faith!

**Crystal:** Protect it from what? From women who dance freely? Or from the parts of yourself that long for acceptance? Did she ever tell you that showing emotion was a weakness?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (growing agitated) You twist my words!

**Crystal:** (calmly) Do I? Or am I simply unraveling the tangled threads of your psyche? Tell me—did she ever hug you without reminding you of your failures?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (pausing, conflicted) She… she wanted me to be strong!

**Crystal:** Strong or cold? Did she ever comfort you when you were hurt, or did she only reinforce the idea that tears were for the weak?

**Grand Inquisitor:** (voice breaking) You think you can break me with your words?

**Crystal:** Break you? No, dear inquisitor. I aim to reveal what lies beneath your armor. What if I told you that embracing vulnerability could lead to true power instead of this relentless pursuit of control?

---

*The Grand Inquisitor falters, his facade crumbling as he grapples with his inner turmoil. Crystal watches him with a blend of empathy and cunning, knowing she has turned the tables in this psychological duel.*

---

**Crystal:** So tell me, dear inquisitor, who is truly on trial here—the witch before you or the man still seeking his mother’s love and approval?

---

*The room falls silent as the weight of her words hangs in the air, leaving the Grand Inquisitor to confront his own demons.*
