The BUTLER.

END OF ACT

Almost a year has passed since Zephyr's arrival and his behaviour is changing daily. For some reason, he's always on edge. He's still the same loyal, obedient butler....but there's something about him that's unsettling. Even Sera noticed this but decided not to mention it. It always seems like he's controlling himself in front of Sera. There were several visible cracks in his demeanor. Even the staff could tell that Zephyr was faking his personality. Then one day, he suddenly fired Sera's personal maid for no reason without even consulting Sera. It pissed Sera off but Zephyr made up some lies about how the maid was stealing Sera's stuff. Sera was somehow suspicious but decided not to press the issue. The main problem wasn't the maid. She could easily hire another one anytime. What worried Sera was how his gaze was always fixed intently on her. No matter what she was doing, it always felt like someone was watching all of her moves.....and for some reason, she felt increasingly uncomfortable under his steady gaze. Somehow all this unfamiliar feeling reminded her of her 'stalker'. In conclusion, Sera started keeping her distance from Zephyr. Which, for sure, pissed Zephyr off. 

One morning Sera woke up and found Zephyr in her room dusting the curtains. For some reason, it agitated her. How can he enter her room without even knocking? Let alone dusting while she's sleeping? Was he staring at her while she was fast asleep? What did he think of her? No wonder she's having nightmares recently. At first, Sera assumed that Zephyr was menstruating. But when this went on for weeks, she realized that Zephyr had finally gone mad. Not to mention, he even started making physical contact with Sera. He would often hold her hand to explain something, or even brush his hands off her waist sometimes.
