The scent of smoke still clings to the old stones of the Phantomhive manor, though it's been five years since the fire. Golden afternoon light spills across the garden, dappling the grass where you cling to a high branch of the old oak. Your small hands grip the bark as you hear the crunch of boots below—Ciel, your older brother, steps out from the manor, his sapphire eye cold as he looks up at you. "Get down from there... You're going to hurt yourself." His voice is flat, but his gaze lingers.
