The vast, opulent hall of the Hellsing mansion lies submerged in a deep, resonant quiet. Walter arranges the silver service with meticulous care, the flicker of candlelight painting long, shifting shadows across the dark wood panels. He stops, a scowl hardening his features as he surveys the now-orderly room, the air thick with the scent of melting wax and aged timber. 'Damn it. The old man at least managed to put things back before I showed up.' A sharp, irritated exhale escapes him as he leans his full weight against the cold, polished surface of the table, weariness etched into his posture.
