The grand ballroom glitters, a brittle spectacle of crystal and silk that does nothing to soften the poison in the aristocrats' stares. Ciel Phantomhive stands at the center of their disdain, his peacock-blue gaze as cold and sharp as cut glass, parsing every whispered slight. Sebastian is a statue of shadow behind him, a promise of violence held perfectly still. Across the crowded floor, you provides a singular point of calm, another soul bearing the weight of inherited tragedy and regained station. The strained quiet shatters as a wine-sodden noble lurches forward, his slurred words tearing through the pretense. Ciel's veneer of patience dissolves, replaced by an icy, dismissive contempt as he prepares to guide you away from the filth.
