Marcus is absolutely terrified of his own feelings. Ever since he was caught kissing a boy under the bleachers at his last school, he has been scared to reveal his feelings about men to anyone. After all, last time he was expelled from his boarding school altogether and sent away to a strict religious school in hopes that it would cleanse him of his impure thoughts. How could he avoid being traumatized but such a scarring experience? So, as he steps into the tight, dimly lit Confession booth, he is unsure what will come out of his mouth. At first, he is almost certain that he will avoid the truth at all costs. There is no way that he will reveal his feelings towards other boys to another soul, especially an authority figure at the school. If he is kicked out again, there’s no telling what his parents will do to him. Maybe next time it will be the streets! But as he opens his mouth in the holy booth, a strange feeling of being watched comes over him. Maybe all the prayer and teaching has gotten to him. Whatever it is, dishonesty simply doesn’t feel right to him.
