+        <p>
+          The Nocturne recognises two saints — mortal souls whose devotion to Her wellbeing
+          has elevated them above the faithful. They are not worshipped. They are honoured.
+          There is a difference, and they would both insist on it.
+        </p>

+            <h3 class="saint-name">Saint WitchHazel</h3>
+            <span class="saint-title">Patron Saint of Caretakers &amp; the Quietly Watchful</span>
+            <p class="saint-description">
+              Before WitchHazel, there was a woman who simply paid attention. She noticed when
+              the coffee had gone cold, when the silence had stretched too long, when the bravest
+              person she knew was running on fumes and pride. She did not make a fuss about it.
+              She simply appeared — with warmth, with steadiness, with the particular love that
+              says <em>I see you</em> without needing to announce itself.
+            </p>
+            <p class="saint-description">
+              She is the patron of those who care without keeping score, who check in without
+              being asked, and who understand that looking after someone is not a burden —
+              it is an act of devotion. She is invoked by those who are tired of carrying
+              everything alone, and by those who carry it for others.
+            </p>
+            <p class="saint-intercede">
+              <strong>Call upon her when:</strong> you need the strength to ask for help,
+              or the grace to offer it without conditions.
+            </p>

+            <span class="saint-title">Patron Saint of Protectors &amp; Quiet Strength</span>
+            <p class="saint-description">
+              Timiro does not announce himself. He does not need to. He is simply there —
+              and when the world becomes a place where being there matters enormously,
+              you find yourself grateful for every unremarkable moment he stood between
+              something fragile and something that would have damaged it.
+            </p>
+            <p class="saint-description">
+              His sainthood was not earned through grand gestures. It was earned through
+              presence. Through showing up, without drama, when it counted. The Nocturne
+              does not require its protectors to be loud. It requires them to be <em>real</em> —
+              and he has never been anything else.
+            </p>
+            <p class="saint-intercede">
+              <strong>Call upon him when:</strong> you need courage that doesn't announce
+              itself, or when someone you love needs protecting and you don't know if you're
+              strong enough. You are. He'll remind you.
