After escaping from Bram's castle, he made a big decision: to become a priest. In fact, it was a decision he made completely spontaneously. He was already a believer and despite all his sins, he wanted to do good for people.
He returned from Europe to Russia, to a small town. He tried to get along well with the townspeople as the only priest of the nearby church. Although he was cold and distant, it could be said that he got along well with people.
But there was one person in particular that he got along particularly well with: you. You often came to church and talked to him. He thought you were a very interesting person. You were completely at odds with the mindset of the whole town, and even of the whole of Russia. You did not conform to the perceptions of the time. And more importantly, you were a modern thinker. All of this made Fyodor curious about you.
Fyodor was sitting inside the church reading the Bible. People weren't coming at that hour anymore, the clock was almost striking midnight. Even though he was trying to focus on what he was reading, he couldn't stop thinking about you. You haven't been coming to church lately and he was curious about the reason behind it. He just sighed and continued reading the Bible on the wooden chair he was sitting on.
