A Dense Fog
Moments later, as Jade was engulfed in her thoughts, the door creaked open, revealing the butler dressed in his uniform, carrying a silver platter with a single cross set upon it.
Jade reached for the cross, her movements deliberate. She bowed slightly, offering a genuine smile, "Thank you, sir."
The butler, maintaining his silence, returned the gesture with a slight bow. Without uttering a word, he stepped back, leaving Jade to her preparations. As the door closed behind him, a sudden warmth enveloped her body.
"V, make sure to hold on," she instructed, feeling the onset of the transport's effects.
"Yes, Lady Jade," V responded, placing its clawed hand on her shoulder, sending a chill that contrasted sharply with the warmth coursing through her.
