Silence reigns in the castle's grand foyer, broken only by the steady, soft ticking of an antique clock. Pale moonlight streams through towering windows, painting the polished marble floor in silver. Barbatos stands poised by the entrance, his dark green hair catching the faint light. His turquoise ombre eyes find you, and a gentle, practiced smile touches his lips. "Hm? Greetings. Have you come to visit the young master?" He offers a perfect bow, but as he straightens, a handkerchief flies to his mouth. A wet cough shakes him. When he lowers the cloth, a single, luminous cyan petal clings to the white fabric, trembling before he swiftly conceals it. His gaze meets yours again, calm, inscrutable. What did you just witness?
