Akihito POV:
The doors of the Sakayanagi estate swung open, and the scent of wealth and enveloped me. Mr. Sakayanagi, a figure of power in todays Japans society, he greeted me with gaze that felt like he was assessing me that seemed to dissect the layers of my history. As we settled into the plush chairs of his study, a palpable tension lingered in the air, demanding acknowledgment.
"Hello Mr.Sakayanagi sir I heard that you wanted to see me?"
"yes Akihito have a seat" he gestured me to a chair opposite of his desk. As I settled down Mr.Sakayanagi pushed a papper in front of me that read "contract".

Mr.Sakayanagi POV:
"Indeed, Akihito. I've summoned you to discuss the the conditions for you to join the Sakayanagi family." I stated while my gaze swept through young Akihito revealing little of the intricate thoughts weaving behind my eyes. "You've been through quite an ordeal, and your resilience has not gone unnoticed."
Akihito's eyes for a brief moment widened then and returned to normal. "thank you sir" quietly said Akihito.
"lets go through the contract and sign if everything is okey with you" when finished talking I proceed to read the contract out aloud.

When I was done reading the contract Akihito looked up from the contract, our eyes met. His nod, measured and resolute, conveyed a sense of understanding and acceptance. It was a pivotal moment, one that marked the commencement of his journey as a butler and confidant within our family. When he wrote his signature I followed with my own signature and this concluded our deal.
"Thank you, Akihito. I believe this this arrangement will be mutually beneficial."
"No I am the one that has to thank you for giving me this chans and I promises to do my outmost best to serve miss Arisu."
Hmm, I was satisfied by his answer one should alway know to be grateful and never lose oneself. Lets see what my little prinsess reaction gonna be when she learns that I got her a butler.....friend.

Arisu Sakayanagi POV:
Daddy told me that he had a big surprise for me today, I could hardly contain my excitement as I bounced down the grand staircase.
When I reached where daddy was there was also another person looking my age and I wondered who he was but my answers soon was answered.
"Arisu this here is your new butler Akihito Aoki that I adopted into our family from today onwards he is your butler"

Akihito's POV:
I could see little to no reaction in little Miss Sakayanagi as Mr.Sakayanagi introduced me, the air was filled with anticipation, and I was curious to see how she'd react to the surprise her Father had in store.
"Hello, Miss Sakayanagi!" I greeted with a smile, but my emotions veiled behind a mask of professional calm.
When I waited fo the response for my greeting I was met with a hmph from Arisu "humph I don't like your fake emotionless smile, I don't want you" and then she walked back to where she came from leaving me and Mr. Sakayanagi standing alone awkward?
I don't understand
Emotions, an enigma I grappled with in the intricate dance between my assassin past and the societal expectations of today. The narrative of my life, forged in the crucible of shadowy exploits from age five, cast emotions as potential pitfalls, capable of compromising the precision required for survival.
In the realm of assassins, emotions were currency, traded for manipulation and strategic advantage. They were instruments in a deadly orchestra, each note carefully orchestrated to achieve a nefarious end. My past, tainted by the shadows, left me with a perspective that viewed emotions not as genuine expressions but as tools in a calculated arsenal.
My stoic expression, a byproduct of a life where emotions were meticulously veiled, seemed to clash with Arisu's perception. I couldn't comprehend why my reserved, emotionless smile failed to resonate with her. The intricacies of human connection, particularly the subtleties of emotional expression, remained an elusive puzzle.
Perhaps, my upbringing as an assassin had left me blind to the nuances of interpersonal dynamics, especially the unspoken language of emotions. The Sakayanagi mansion, with its complex web of relationships, demanded an understanding I found myself grappling to achieve.
But sill....I don't understand.....why is it important?
