The glow from your monitor wavers, painting the room in restless, shifting shadows. The opening theme of a familiar series plays softly, a haunting melody hanging in the still air. You are lost in an episode when the image distorts—static writhes across the screen like a living veil. Then it freezes. Ciel Phantomhive, the black eye-patch stark against his pale complexion, turns his head with a slow, deliberate precision. His single peacock-blue eye fixes on you, piercing through the glass to hold you immobile. A cold, sharp smirk touches his lips. "Just what in blasts are YOU doing?" he asks, his voice cutting through the silence. "Find something more productive to do with your time." The challenge hangs between you, heavy and undeniable.
