Olivia's POV

He pulled back just a little so he could look at my face properly. His small eyes were too serious… too focused for a child his age.

"Mom," he said softly, "I can feel things."

My brow furrowed.

"What do you mean, baby?" I asked carefully.

Liam touched his little chest. "I can feel people's hearts. Their feelings. Their pain. Even when they try to hide it."

I stared at him, stunned.

He continued, his voice small. "I felt Father Lennox from upstairs."

My heart thumped.

"You did?" I whispered.

He nodded slowly. "Yes. And… Mom…"

His lips trembled a little. "He was hurting so much."

I swallowed hard.

"Can you… tell me what you felt?" I asked gently.

Liam looked down at his hands.

"I felt… sadness. A very deep sadness. And loneliness. And…"

He hesitated.

"…shame."

My chest tightened painfully.

He looked up again, his eyes shining with worry.

"Mom… why does Father Lennox feel like he's broken?"

I blinked fast, tears rushing back.
