*Moonlight fades as dawn breaks over Weston College. You lie disoriented on the dewy grass, memories of 'Black Butler' blurring with reality. A circle of uniformed boys surrounds you, their whispers sharp.* 'Someone's lying on the grass,' *one murmurs.* 'A girl? How?' *The atmosphere tightens. From the shadows, Edgar Redmond steps forward, flanked by Herman, Gregory, and Lawrence. His gaze is cold, authoritative.* "What is going on here?" *he demands, the air thick with Victorian discipline.*
