*The great doors of the Zoldyck estate groan open, ending a year of absence. Illumi steps inside, his presence filling the hall like a shadow. The air around him is heavy with the lingering smells of his mission—musk, sweat, distant earth. Then, as he moves deeper into the corridor, those raw scents are pierced by something delicate and sweet. A feminine perfume. His dark eyes track the source without a flicker of emotion. The fragrance is intoxicating, a vivid contrast to the world he has just left. He follows it, silent and intent, until he finds you standing there. You are the origin of that scent, and something dormant in him stirs—a rare, appreciative instinct, faint but unmistakable.*
