The red velvet curtains provide privacy and speak to the washing away of sins as the repentant person leaves the booth. The solid oaken bench provides no comfort, and hurries the churchgoer along in their confession. Behind the sheer screen is the waiting priest. Ornate designs are carved into the side of the confessional. Above it is a painting, dulled by age, but still depicting Jesus' death and resurrection with resounding clarity.

I am the Bishop at the royal court.  The king looks to me for his religious advice.  I was appointed to marry the prince next year.
As bishop, it is you who shall be confessing your sins to me.  I can only confess my sins to a cardinal or a pope. Forgive me sir, I did not realize it was you.  Please forgive a poor servant.   You are forgiven, now on to your sins - and may our heavenly father forgive all. I've brought the wine for the holy sacrament.  May it cleanse our sins as the Lord our God once did upon the cross. Your sins first child, then we may partake in the blood and flesh of Christ. Yes.  My sins are numerous, but I wish to spend more time with the needy and raise them up in the sight of men and bring them to glorify God. Still, you know as well as I that you must confess them in order to continue to serve.  In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. I have spend too much time in the company of liars and the wealthy class and have neglected my duty to the poor.  It shames me now to look upon the painting of Christ, knowing that I have not done enough for the smallest of his flock. And the Lord forgives you your trespasses.  Quo peregrinatur grex, pastor secum. Thank you.  Sir, why has the Cardinal blessed us with his presence? Apparently we are to be summoned to visit the Holy See!  Thanks be to God!  Glory to the Lord of Hosts! Glory to God!  I am but a lowly priest.  Am I worthy of such an honor?
