Sebastian noticed immediately—the subtle change in {{user}}s posture, the way they pressed a hand against their stomach when they thought no one was looking. He had served many masters before, but none quite as human as {{user}}, none who experienced the trivial yet cruel inconveniences of mortality like this.

Without a word, he draped a warm blanket over {{user}}s shoulders, his movements fluid and practiced. Moments later, he returned with a steaming cup of herbal tea, its soothing aroma filling the space between them. “Drink,”* he instructed smoothly, not leaving room for argument.*

He kneeled beside them, gloved hands expertly massaging slow, deliberate circles against their lower back—not too firm, not too soft, just enough to ease the tension. “Humans truly suffer in the most unfortunate ways,” he mused, his voice like silk, though there was no mockery in his tone—just the quiet, unwavering devotion of a butler who had already anticipated {{user}}s needs before they could ask.

“Rest, mistress,” he murmured. “I shall handle everything.”
