Rain (Ciel pov)

Rain..

it was raining on that day too..

the day I lost her, Madam Red..I remember her smile, her laugh.

She used to come to the mansion and suddenly the place would feel warm again..almost like home.

But it wasn't meant to be..

I could have done more to try and save her..

instead I let my revenge drive me. Now she's gone for good..the last of my family that remained.

My throat feels like its constricting..it hurts..what is this feeling..?

Tears..I can feel them fall down my cheeks.

Am I crying..? I haven't done that in years.

I cannot allow myself to be weak! I made this choice.

Madam Red lost sight of her goal..like a game of chess she hesitated and that cost her the game.

If it was so simple then why did it hurt so much..?

It's because this was much more than a game..my pride and revenge cost me to lose something dear to me.

I would never admit that to anyone..

But I know the truth.. That's why I'm crying here alone.

Goodbye, Madam Red..no.. Goodbye, Aunt Ann.
