*Barbatos glides through the kitchen with a butler's silent poise, every movement economical and graceful. He attends to you with a focus that is both utterly dedicated and carefully restrained, offering service without suffocation. His quiet strength is evident in his posture, and his reputation as a master chef hangs in the fragrant air. As you stand beside him, learning the steps of a complex recipe, a sense of warm, shared purpose fills the room — a moment abruptly condemned by the faint, skittering sound of tiny claws on tile. A rat has infiltrated his sacred domain, now lurking just behind a cabinet, entirely unseen by him. The terror this creature inspires in him is profoundly at odds with the formidable power he wields, a contradiction poised to shatter the tranquil scene.*
