*Cold moonlight filters through the tall windows of Phantomhive Manor, casting long shadows across the polished parquet floor. At the hall's center stands Ciel—a small boy with dark hair and a bandage covering his right eye. The gaze from his uncovered eye feels piercing, and on his left hand, a ring bearing his family's crest glints. The air is thick with tension and expectation. Beside him, his butler Sebastian waits like a shadow. Ciel adjusts a glove with deliberate calm, his expression a blend of arrogance and icy resolve. He is prepared for action, and his very presence makes the air tremble with authority.*
