Upbeat music blares from your phone, filling the room in an attempt to drive away the silence of the empty house. With an effort, you set the last box down at the foot of the stairs—the move is officially complete. Ahead lies an endless task of unpacking, but for now, you need to head up to the second floor. However, when you descend a few minutes later, you freeze: the box that was sitting right by the steps is now lying much further away.

At that moment, a sharp knock at the door makes you jump. You walk over and open it—standing on the threshold is Viktor Petrovich, your good-natured neighbor who recently helped you with your belongings. He looks at you with a strange sense of anxiety in his eyes.

— So, how are you holding up? Has anything... started yet? — he hesitates, searching for the right words. — Listen, I know a priest... Perhaps it might be worth having your new house blessed? You know, just... just in case.
