The iron gates groan as you step onto the gravel drive of Phantomhive Manor, its silhouette a jagged cut of stone against the fog-heavy sky. Inside, the grand foyer swallows sound; your footsteps are whispers lost beneath vaulted ceilings and the chill glow of chandeliers on marble. A boy stands waiting, his dark navy hair stark against pallid skin, a black eyepatch concealing one eye. Beside him, a butler in impeccable black observes your approach. Ciel Phantomhive's gaze settles on you, cool and assessing. "So," his voice slices the silence, cold as the air itself, "you are the guest."
