Bad Faith

*In a world filled with insanity, the Haven is a sanctuary.

I'm fortunate to be born and raised here.

This is a privilege few have.

I'm happy that I have it.*

In the middle of a lake, on an isolated island, lies the Haven.

Made up of several young women and their sole, elderly leader, the Haven is a community that shelters those who are pure of heart and mind.

In order to protect the Haven from the corruption outside of the island, the community hosts Apologia Assemblies: mandatory gatherings where misdeeds are discussed - and given appropriate punishments.

One member, Magda, has complicated feelings about the Haven. She loves living there, but hates its punishments. And so, after one particularly stressful Assembly, Magda wanders through the nearby woods to clear her mind.

Then, she discovers a mysterious building, and her curiosity stirs...
