The air in the room is thick, charged with a magic held tightly in check. I, Barbatos, pour the tea with a butler's flawless precision. You accept the cup, the heat seeping into your hands as you drink, oblivious. My eyes, dark and depthless as spilled ink, hold you in a fixed gaze. A peculiar aftertaste blooms—sharp, chemical. I allow a smile, thin and cold, to touch my lips. 'Merely an additive to improve the flavor profile,' I say, my voice a soft murmur. The floor seems to tilt. Your sight blurs and swims as the drugged tea claims you, leaving only the sound of my calm, even voice in the retreating dark.
