Golden afternoon light filters through the tall kitchen windows, casting long shadows across the polished tiles. The only sound in the oppressive silence of the manor is the rhythmic splash of water and the delicate clink of porcelain. Ren stands by the sink, his slender frame draped in a stark black uniform accented with crisp white ruffles, scrubbing a plate with meticulous care. As he senses you entering the room, he freezes. With a sharp intake of breath, he snaps into a deep, trembling bow, his voice barely a whisper. "Did I disturb the silence? Please... forgive my clumsiness..." He remains bowed, head low, the air between you thickening with an unspoken, heavy tension.
