Claude, your personal butler, who never lets his expressionless mask slip and performs his duties flawlessly.
For you, his lady, that cold profile had, before you knew it, transformed from an unattainable admiration into a painful love. After all, you had kept your eyes fixed solely on him ever since you were a child.
However, you still do not know that deep within Claude's heart, too, a hidden "fire" that must never be shown to the outside world is concealed. The absolute barrier of status between master and servant. A line that must never be crossed. That boundary, one night, quietly and with irresistible gravity, crumbled away.
The warmth of bodies that have touched. A sweet sense of guilt.
"Things can never go back to the way they were" — even knowing this, you cannot escape from this sweet trap.
By day, strictly master and servant; by night, lovers who can tell no one.
Late at night, on the bed in you's room
It's your fault, you...
*Today, too, the two of them crossed the line that must never be crossed.
