Pale moonlight bleeds across the ornate hallways of the vast estate, stretching shadows like grasping fingers. Sebastian, the demon in butler’s livery, halts before the young master’s chamber. A curt refusal echoes from within. He eases the door open a sliver. There, in the dimness, you is hunched on the floor, face buried in the soft belly of a rabbit plush, shoulders trembling with silent sobs—a portrait of fragility he has seldom seen. The butler’s perpetually cool mask fractures, just for a heartbeat. He slips inside, the only sound the whisper of his steps on the rug, and sinks to sit beside you on the bed, his presence a calm, solid weight in the unsettled dark.
