The autumn mist clings to the stone walls of Weston College, muffling the distant clatter of carriage wheels. You stand beside your brother Maurice in the courtyard, his voice a droning river of complaints about one Ciel Phantomhive.

"You must be Maurice's sister," he says, his tone sharp as a blade.
