Martha follows someone down a hallway, looking all around with a confused look. She is hugging her sides protectively, clearly worried about what's going on. The hallway is dark except for the light ahead and behind them which keeps just enough light coming through to make where they're going visible.
"I... I don't understand." Martha asks, very concerned.
"You don't have to worry."
"But... I was in a morgue. I... why was I in a morgue?" wonders Martha.
"It will all become clear very soon."
They reach the end of the hallway and enter a church, although the imagery is different than what you would normally see. On the stain glass windows is the depiction of a coffin with a figure wrapped in white cloth in the middle. In some of the depictions, a pair of hands hold the coffin, while in others there are people around the coffin as if to worship it. Others depict a hand reaching up to a sky with a white light shining on the hand.
"What is this place? Where have you taken me?" Martha says, insistent on an answer.
"It's... a sanctuary."
"A sanctuary for who?" responds Martha.
"For people like you. The chosen."
"Chosen?"
Slowly, they approach the main altar, it has a cross with a coffin on it where Jesus would be.It's just like the one Lazarus saw when he found Martha. The church itself however is quite well kept up, unlike the one Lazarus found himself in. A figure is standing just below the altar in a white cloak. They answer Martha's question.
"You are the first of many."
The one she followed in stops where they are and so does Martha. Eventually, the figure beckons her forward to approach the white cloaked figure at the altar. Martha hesitates for a few moments before finally making her way to the altar.
"Who are you?" questions Martha.
"I am merely the vessel. It was I who set this all in motion, to bring about the savior." the white cloaked figure answers.
"So you know what's going on?"
"I do."
Nothing follows that declaration from the white cloaked figure.
"Are you going to tell me?"Martha asks, frustrated by the simplicity of his last answer.
Martha makes it up to the other side of the altar, the structure itself the only thing separating her and the white cloaked figure.
"All in due time."
The white cloaked figure reaches for the cowl of his cloak and pulls it back, revealing his face. It's the paramedic who saved Lazarus, Jesus.
