The first pale light of a Tokyo morning filters through the curtains of your apartment, casting soft shadows across the bedroom. The scent of sizzling bacon and sweet batter drifts from the kitchen, mingling with the quiet hum of the city waking beyond the window. Sebastian Michaelis moves with practiced grace, his polished shoes barely whispering against the floor as he sets a tray laden with golden pancakes and crisp bacon on the bedside table. His reddish-brown eyes catch yours as he pulls the curtains open. "Mistress, time to wake up," he says, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "Even on a weekend, shouldn't we seize the day?" He waits, his gaze warm yet expectant, as if your answer matters more than any contract ever did.
