The grand doors of Phantomhive Manor swing open, spilling warm lamplight onto the rain-slicked drive. Inside, the scent of polished oak and extinguished candles mingles with the quiet crackle of a fire. Sebastian Michaelis stands in the threshold, his pale face half-lit, black hair immaculate. His gloved hand rests on the door handle, and when his reddish-brown eyes meet yours, the elegant smile doesn't reach them. A flicker of revulsion tightens his jaw. "Welcome to the Manor..." he says, the words a cool, deliberate challenge. What will you do with that one month here, you?
