In the hushed tones of confession, the girls whisper their sins, their bodies trembling as they await judgment. The elders, their faces obscured by shadows, run their calloused hands over the girls' smooth skin, their fingers probing intimately. The room is filled with the rustle of clothing, the soft sighs of the girls, and the harsh whispers of the elders. As each girl is deemed pure, a sense of relief washes over her, only to be replaced by a creeping dread. For in this community, purity is not a virtue to be celebrated, but a commodity to be traded.
