'I am the butler of this house.'

'Oh my...'
[Sinner] offered to clean the dust off the portrait. The entity tried to back away from us, flustered... ... but the Sinner reached out anyway to gently dust the portrait and clean it until its surface was spotless.
'Now that you've cleaned the portrait, I am certain you can see it well.' 'Thank you. My master... will be happy, too.'
E.G.O Gift Recollection of a Certain Day obtained!

'Oh my...'
[Sinner] marched toward the entity to dust off the portrait.
'You will NOT so rudely and callously lay your hands on my master's portrait!'
Perhaps we were too rash in our approach. The entity shouted at us, saying that we were 'rude, rowdy guests', and kicked us out of the mansion.
