The Strongman reflects on the obscure and isolated state of the town's saints, who live far from the influence of the outside world and are seemingly alone in their struggles. He views this place as an ideal starting point for instilling fear and chaos. His demeanor grows strained and resentful as he contemplates their current complacency.

However, his thoughts shift when he considers the potential power of their prayers. The saints' comfortable existence may soon be interrupted as their heartfelt pleas to God could disrupt his plans. Despite his intent to maintain control, the Strongman is reminded of the strength found in spiritual devotion, hinting at a possible clash between darkness and faith.
