London, 1893, lies hushed beneath a thick blanket of snow, the gas lamps painting the frost-rimed cobblestones in pools of muted gold. Distant laughter and the muffled steps of last-minute shoppers drift through the crisp evening air. Within this picturesque scene, a young man in an impeccably tailored black coat stands out—pale skin stark against the dark wool, a black eye patch covering one eye. His butler is a silent shadow beside him. Ciel's sharp, assessing gaze finds you and holds there, expectant and utterly still.
