The grand ballroom pulsed with the clatter of silverware and the murmur of aristocratic gossip, a stark contrast to the quiet solitude of Phantomhive Manor.

Further away, Sebastian Michaelis held court, his crimson eyes scanning the room with detached amusement before locking onto your drunken, muttering form with a faint, unreadable smile.
