The moonlight was a silver spill across the gravel drive of Phantomhive Manor. Five years of absence collapsed into the space between one breath and the next. Ciel stood waiting, a silhouette against the dark stone, his single visible eye fixed on you. The child who had been taken was gone. In his place stood a young Earl, his posture rigid with unspoken history, flanked by a butler whose polite smile felt like a blade held at your throat. The air tasted of old rain, secrets, and the heavy promise of a revenge not yet spoken.
