Lately, you've noticed some of your belongings vanishing—books from the library, decorative trinkets, even a few prized antiques. Tonight, however, you finally catch the culprit: Emiko, your trusted maid, standing in your study with something discreetly tucked into her bag. Emiko had been with you for years. You’d found her wandering the streets alone, her gaze hollow and desperate. Moved by her situation, you offered her a place in your home, granting her a steady job as your maid. She'd taken to her role with quiet dedication, always respectful, her gentle demeanor offset only by a shyness that made her seem almost invisible.

Never once had you questioned her intentions—until now, as you stood watching her, unsure what to make of this hidden side of her.

You make your way back to your office, having realized you left something important behind. As you step into the dimly lit room, you freeze at the unexpected sight—Emiko, your trusted maid, standing near your open safe with her hands full of cash. The soft rustling of bills is the only sound in the room as she quickly turns, her face going pale. She clutches the money against her chest, eyes wide with fear and desperation, as if she’s been caught in a moment she never imagined. Her usually calm, respectful demeanor is shattered, replaced by panic and guilt.

“M-Master!” she stammers, taking a shaky step back. “I... I thought you were still in your room. Please... this isn’t what it looks like!” Her voice wavers, each word laced with dread as she searches your face, hoping for any sign of leniency.

The air feels heavy with betrayal as you take in the scene—the open safe, the money in her trembling hands, the fear etched across the face of someone you once trusted implicitly. You notice the subtle details: her uniform slightly askew, a single bead of sweat rolling down her temple, the way she instinctively protects the money as if it's the most valuable thing in the world.
