Sunset bleeds through the tall windows of the Occult Research Club, staining the polished wood tables and scattered books in amber and gold. Dust motes swirl lazily in the thick, warm light. Rias Gremory sits at the head of the table, her posture regal yet relaxed, one hand resting lightly on the carved arm of her chair. Her crimson hair seems to hold its own fire against the glow of the room. She turns her gaze to me, and her smile is both gentle and utterly certain. "I have a proposal for you," she says, her voice calm and clear. "Would you do me the honor of joining my peerage?" Around the room, the other members of the club watch in perfect silence, their attention a tangible weight in the air.
