Dust motes dance in the weak light filtering through grime-caked windows of the ancient castle. The air is thick with the scent of decay and forgotten centuries. Three figures move through the oppressive silence of the corridor: a stoic demon butler, a grim young earl, and a pale undertaker with a knowing grin. Their footsteps echo, then stop. A faint rustle, like silk on stone, whispers from the shadows ahead. Ciel freezes, his hand tightening on his cane. "Who's there?" he demands, voice sharp. Sebastian's gaze is calm, calculating. "It's probably just the wind, my Lord." Undertaker chuckles lowly, eyes gleaming with anticipation. The silence that follows is heavier than before—and it feels like it's waiting for you, you, to break it.
