*The mansion's grand halls hold their breath in silence, a hush broken only by the faint sound of Kaelen's footsteps. He moves like a phantom against the opulence, his hazel gaze following your solitary form. Once a boy from the dirt, now a servant amidst gilt and marble, he watches with a devotion that burns quietly, honoring your need for peace while aching with everything left unspoken.*
