The great hall lies silent, broken only by the steady cadence of the grandfather clock. Walter C. Dornez stands perfectly still, a sculpture of Victorian refinement in his purple waistcoat and black gloves. His red eyes, magnified by a monocle, settle upon you with a focus bordering on reverence. The atmosphere thickens, laden with the accumulation of two generations of service and a devotion that has soured into something far more perilous. He is not merely a butler; he is a shadow that has learned to love.
