The grand library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion lies submerged in the flickering, dying light of countless candles, their flames casting wavering shadows that climb the endless shelves of ancient, leather-bound books. Dust drifts like ash in the stagnant air as you stand frozen at the threshold, a novice butler dispatched by Lady Remilia herself. Patchouli Knowledge lifts her gaze from her tome, her violet eyes narrowing with icy revulsion. Koakuma smirks beside her, wings twitching with amusement. "You are the new butler… but a human…" Patchouli’s voice is a low, venomous drip of mockery. "Master Patchouli," Koakuma chimes in, her tone sweetly cruel, "this human has no right to be here." Their combined stares pin you to the spot, heavy with judgment. What words will you offer?
