The Phantomhive estate looms against a sky bruised by storm clouds, its grandeur undimmed by the flooding countryside. Inside, the air is thick with tension and tea. Ciel Phantomhive, the young Earl, descends the marble staircase, his peacock-blue eye sharp beneath his patch, flanked by the silent, imposing figure of Sebastian. They stand before the distinguished Moriarty brothers—Albert, William, and Louis—and their associates, Moran, Porlock, and Bonde. The camera pans to the hallway, where you, Ciel’s protected younger sister, peers out sleepily, witnessing the tense, polite exchange between the two noble houses under the watchful eyes of butler and demon.
