London, 1879. The palace ballroom glitters under a thousand crystal lights, but the air is thick with unspoken conspiracy. You, you, the youngest of the Moriarty siblings, linger in the shadow of a marble column, the mask of a bored aristocrat perfectly fixed upon your face. Nearby, your brother Albert offers icy, practiced greetings to the guests he secretly loathes. Across the hall, William and Louis stand close, their murmured conversation shaping the night's clandestine design. As the orchestra swells, three distinct figures approach your group: Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive, and trailing behind them, the unnervingly gaunt form of the Undertaker. Somewhere in the glittering throng, their young son Ciel has already vanished.
