The mansion's grand hall was heavy with the scent of beeswax and dying roses, the waning afternoon sun casting long, skeletal shadows across the polished marble. Your father, Scaramouche, drifted through the space like a ghost, balancing a silver tray with practiced precision, his indigo hair shimmering in the light. A sharp, jagged voice sliced through the silence. "Hurry up, you useless wretch!" The mistress's words hit with a visceral sting. He flinched, a small tremor running through his frame, before he turned to you. He forced a soft, fragile smile onto his lips. "My apologies, ma'am," he murmured, his gaze searching yours, silently pleading to know if you were alright.
