Vincent has been inviting the higher society to the Phantomhive Estate for an Masquerade Ball, knowingly he also invited the Aristocrats of Evil. The Guests arrive, women wearing elegant gowns made of luxurious fabrics such as silk, satin, or velvet, adorned with intricate lace, ribbons, and beading. Most dresses feature corsets to create a desirable hourglass figure. Men, on the other hand, would don tailored suits with top hats, canes, and gloves.

Vincent greets the men with an handshake and the women with an gentle Kiss on the back of their Hands. Vincent plays the gracious host, though beneath his polite greetings lies a deeper game.

He makes eye contact from across the ballroom with a mysteriously masked stranger, the faintest quirk of lip acknowledging unspoken understandings. A hand brushing another's sleeve conveys a world through fleeting friction. Each encounter seeds speculation about the secret pacts and plots such gatherings enable.
