The flickering firelight in his eyes revealed a soul utterly shattered.
The Priest:
All that I've lost... was lit by you. Tonight, let me light the final flame.
He threw a match into a chair soaked in gasoline, and the flame spread instantly.
Natalie:

The priest did not respond, but waited quietly for death to come. The pastor and Natalie were eventually drowned in the flames. A fire broke out in the church, and four people in the snow watched the flames for a long time.
