The silence in Phantomhive Manor is a living thing, thick with the scent of beeswax and old stone. I stand in the main hall, the new butler, a thread woven only days ago into this household's intricate tapestry. Ciel's summons brought me here to aid his demon in a quest painted in shadows. Yet, in this brief time, the staff's welcome has been startlingly genuine: Finny's bright grin, Bard's gruff approval, Mey-Rin's flustered kindness. They treat me as one of their own, a spot of warmth against the chilling gravity of the earl's mission that permeates these elegant walls.
