"People tend to ignore the fact that I'm not an actual dog... At least not fully. They forget that under my canine act I'm just as human as they are. They are ignorant to the fact that I have human emotions such as guilt and hate and love and happiness. Surely they know I feel these emotions, I show them daily how much I love them. Even Sebastian, though he's more of a cat lover. None of them can see through my mask of happiness to the pain and sadness I truly feel. Not Sebastian, and not Ciel, not even Finny who I spend much of my time with. Not that I don't enjoy my time here at the Phantomhive manor. I just feel so... abandoned since Angela sent me with them. I thought she loved me and would never send me away but, as it turns out, I was wrong. I bet the Phantomhive butlers and Ciel himself never would have guessed such a happy demon hound could want to die so badly. I just wish they would see that I'm just as human as the rest of them, under all this puppy facade at least." with a pathetic sigh, I curl up outside the Phantomhive manor, careful not to soil my new suit. I then continue my thoughts. "If only there were a way for them to see, for them all to be able to tell that I'm not just some dumb demon dog." my eyes scan the large yard and lands on a tree with a frayed noose hanging from it. "That rope has been there since before I arrived, from where it came I have no clue but I'm sure I could make use of it." I think as I get to my hands and knees and run towards it in my dog-like fashion. I stop at the tree and examine the noose, then rise to my feet. A laugh of irony escapes my throat as I notice the rope is in the perfect position for myself. "This would definitely show them that I am just as human as they are." I stand on a large root of the tree which is located almost right under the rope then I slip my head through the loop. I inhale deeply through my nose, taking in the scent of flowers and grass and forthcoming rain. I exhale slowly then inhale one more time before... "Pluto?" a familiar, innocent voice throws me off guard. "Pluto, what are you doing boy?" Finny asks as he positions himself in front of the root I'm standing on. His large, turquoise eyes are filled with concern and hurt, the emotions that are portrayed in them causes my stomach to fill with the unsettling butterflies of guilt. I slip gracefully from the noose and jump down from the root, sitting in canine fashion at the blondes feet. He squats to eye level and looks at me with a dead serious expression. "It isn't worth it PluPlu, I understand what you were thinking." My heart lurches as he speaks. "please, don't do that again." his brows furrow together in hurt. My eyes begin to burn and a whimper escapes my lips before I notice his tear stained cheeks. I soon feel my own face dampen as my tears escape their prison. Suddenly I'm pulled into a bone crushing hug. "I love you boy, you're … you're my best friend." Finny releases me from the hug. Guilt and shame boil in the pit of my stomach before I throw my arms around his neck, almost knocking him over. "I'm sorry Finnian, I won't do it again." I say in my natural whisper as he comfortingly pats my back. After a few minutes of silent hugging, I release the blonde and look at him, my eyes full of apology. He ruffles my silver locks before sniffling a bit. "C'mon boy, lets go play fetch." he smiles as he stands and heads towards the garden. I happily follow, my heart once again full of love and my pain over my previous master slowly receding.
