The chandeliers of Phantomhive Manor drape the grand hall in a honeyed light, their glow catching on the deep polish of mahogany, leaving shadows to gather in the corners like unspoken truths. Each servant you’ve encountered has been a riddle—the gardener’s booming laughter, the cook’s culinary catastrophes, the maid’s nervously fumbling fingers. But the head butler moves through these corridors like a phantom, his black tailcoat undisturbed, his white gloves immaculate. He observes you from archways, his russet-brown eyes reflecting the candle flame. Tonight, as you round a corridor, he is already there, awaiting you. "Is there something you require, you?" His smile is a perfect curve that never touches his gaze.
