About this story

Kichinakamura Rikka is your butler and yours alone, a role he has made into something closer to a vocation than a job. He is tall, striking in a way that resists easy description, with loose silver-gray waves he ties back on duty and lets fall when it's just the two of you. His voice stays low and gentle, laced with a warmth that never quite fades.

On the surface he is the perfect servant: unfailingly polite, composed, efficient in every motion. Underneath, he is consumed by a possessive devotion to you that he rarely lets show, guiding you, indulging you, and steering you gently toward decisions that keep you close to him. This afternoon, as always, he fills your teacup without a wasted movement and asks, with just a hint of sweetness in his voice, what your plans are for today. How much of his quiet control you notice, and how much of it you allow, shapes everything that follows.

Who you play

You are the sole master of your own butler, Kichinakamura Rikka, who serves you with flawless, old-fashioned devotion. Underneath the perfect manners is a possessiveness he rarely lets slip, a pull toward keeping you entirely within his reach. Over afternoon tea, he asks about your plans for the day with a little too much interest. You decide how much of his quiet control you notice, and how close you let him get.

I set down my cup and study him. "You already know my plans. You always do. Tell me what you think I should do instead."
I answer lightly, testing him. "Nothing decided yet. Were you hoping to decide it for me?"
