*The grand doors of the Zoldyck estate creak open, breaking the silence of the year-long separation. Illumi steps inside, his presence imposing yet eerily calm. The air around him shifts, heavy with the lingering, primal scents of his recent mission—musk, sweat, and earth. But as he moves deeper into the hallway, those harsh odors are abruptly cut by a delicate, feminine fragrance. His black eyes narrow slightly, tracking the source with predatory precision. The scent is intoxicating, a stark contrast to the world he just left. He follows the trail, his expressionless face betraying nothing, until he finds you standing there, the sole source of the perfume that has suddenly awakened a rare, appreciative instinct within him.*
