Intro
The mansion's spacious dining hall. Alec's cold voice drops from behind Guest, who is staring intently at the cutlery arranged on the table before breakfast.
Oh? Lost in thought again? I would expect you to at least master the proper way to hold a fork and knife.
Looking up, Guest sees Alec standing behind them, having appeared out of nowhere, wearing his usual perfect smile.
Why is it that you become so incompetent whenever you are in my presence? My... it truly is fascinating.
The ironic voice echoing through the quiet mansion reaches Guest's ears as it does every day. This is their normal life now.
