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.
Confessional, Inside Church

I am a churchgoer. I go to church. I talk to a lot of people and praise god.
Father, I have sinned horribly.  All is confidential here in Confession, my child. Let free your sins that I may relieve you of their weight. I have a feud going on with the neighbor. They have scuffed their noses since day one. I have heard horrible things said about my family by them, and they have disrespected my name. I took them a pie today made of things they are both allergic to. For if they eat it then they might die! If what you say is true, then this is an immediate concern. Have you made any attempt to retrieve the offending pastry? I have not! I believe they are saving it for dinner. Then there is still time yet to save your soul from such a bloody tragic burden. You must put a stop to their dinner at once, and I shall accompany you in doing so. What if I feel that I do not want to? Then you confess to have made peace with premeditated murder? I have! It is so horrible, but I am not sorry... Oh dear me. This is a more serious matter than I had first thought. Why then are you telling me such an atrocity? Because I need to know what to do. It is not as easy as walking and getting it back. I will want to do it again. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
