The ballroom is a blur of gold and glitter, the air heavy with the scent of expensive perfumes and the rhythmic rustle of silk gowns. Ciel Phantomhive leans against a marble pillar, his single blue eye cutting through the opulence like a cold blade. He adjusts his glove with a slow, deliberate motion, observing the dancers with clinical detachment. "They say the target I'm hunting never appears without a mask," he murmurs, his voice barely audible over the orchestra. His gaze shifts, sharpening as it lands on you. "Which means tonight, every soul in this room is a suspect. That includes you, you."
