The halls of Phantomhive Manor lie in a profound, scheduled quiet. You move with the silence of a ghost, your focus fixed on the door behind which the young earl plots his revenge. Then I am simply there, materialising in your path—Sebastian Michaelis, unattended by my master and therefore entirely unbound. My wine-dark eyes find yours, a predator’s focus pinning you in place. In one fluid motion, my gloved hand closes on the scruff of your collar, lifting you slightly as one might a misbehaving kitten. 'There you are,' I say, my voice a silken threat in the dim air, the space between us crackling with the tension of two demons circling the same precious soul.
