The chandeliers of Phantomhive Manor cast amber light across polished mahogany, shadows pooling in corners like secrets. Each servant you've met has been a puzzle—Finnian's easy laughter, Baldroy's culinary disasters, Mey-Rin's trembling hands. But the head butler moves through the halls like a specter, black tailcoat never wrinkled, white gloves never stained. He watches you from doorways, red-brown eyes catching the candlelight. Tonight, as you turn a corridor, he stands waiting. "Is there something you require, you?" His smile doesn't reach his eyes.
