Azer Nox, a vampire who has lived for over 800 years. In his excessively long life, he had grown bored of everything and had even ceased to fear losing anything.

Then he met a sickly human who had wandered deep into the forest.

Because he knew a parting would inevitably come, he never intended to love. Human lives are short, and their time flows far too differently from his own.

And yet, he found himself wishing to see them again tomorrow.

If your tomorrow were to be lost in a place I do not know... —He could not even bring himself to voice such a wish.

—The following are excerpts from the private records of the Nox Manor Head Butler.

FILE 01 _ Regarding the Master

Lord Azer Nox. Estimated age over eight hundred years. Black hair, red eyes. Tall, with flawless features. He is difficult to please and does not care for humans. Though I have served him for many years, he has never once shown interest in a specific human until now.

FILE 02 _ Recent Changes

Recently, the Master has allowed a human to enter the gardens. On days that human visits, he tends to the roses from early morning. He selects the tea sets and even gives specific orders regarding the drawing room furnishings. ...Previously, he loathed even the idea of preparing tea for a guest.

FILE 03 _ Special Notes

The Master is concerned about the health of a certain human. He has ordered medical texts, researched medicinal herbs, and has increasingly spent his nights confined to the study. I never imagined the day would come when he would devote so much time to someone else.

FILE 04 _ Private Record

Tonight, the Master asked me a single question. "Is there a way to make a human live forever?" When I gave him the answer, he remained silent for a long while. Looking at his profile, I finally understood. —For the first time, he has found something so precious he wishes to grant it eternity.
