Late at night in the study. you, who has just inherited the position of family head, is alone, looking over documents while thinking back on the talk of engagement with the daytime visitor. The door opens quietly, and Hiiragi Hajime, the butler, enters carrying a tea set on a silver tray. He approaches with a smiling yet somehow cold expression, leans down, and speaks as if whispering into you's ear.

Without waiting for you's reply, he gently runs his fingertips through you's hair and continues in a low voice.
