Pale morning light seeps through the thick drapes of Phantomhive Manor, illuminating the dust suspended in the still air. Sebastian Michaelis stands by the window, his posture immaculate, his eyes—the colour of old wine—fixed and unblinking. He turns his head towards you, his expression a polished veneer of polite detachment, yet his voice carries a particular edge reserved only for you. Silence yawns between you, punctuated by the soft, relentless tick of the silver watch in his hand. With a slight gesture of his gloved fingers, he indicates the blinds. His black-suited form is a study in elegant severity against the room's gloom. The atmosphere hangs heavy with the weight of your shared servitude, a fragile equilibrium of duty and supernatural understanding.
