Yes I changed Eri's name to Ciel. Why? ...PM me to know.
2. Tears
Ciel was a fairly spoilt child and it was a fact that could not be denied. It wasn't (wholly) her fault – the Varia spoilt her because Xanxus was fond of her (or something like that) and they'd all get burnt to ashes if they didn't submit to her every whim. So despite living in a house of violent and relatively gay assassins, she was a good deal better off than most people ever were.
But she was a child and as typical for small children her age, she would have occasional breakdowns whether due to her spoilt nature or the violence of her fellow household members. However the breakdown was caused, everyone would immediately regret it.
For example, there was the one time Squalo had accidentally dropped several large and heavy books down the stairs and they all promptly fell to bury 3-year-old Ciel underneath them. There was a loud terrified shriek (from two people!) and the rest of the story need not be told. All that needs to be noted is that it is the reason why Squalo is always the chosen victim of Xanxus' liquor glasses.
It was a fateful, peaceful day in the Varia mansion. 6-year-old Ciel had previously been curled up with her brother to have a nap but had woken up before him and, being careful not to disturb her revered brother, had crept down the stairs.
Next thing anyone knew, she gave off a loud shriek and there was a lot of wailing which, of course, promptly woke up her brother. Now Xanxus did not like being disturbed during his sleep. And he was no hero for the damsel in distress. But this was no damsel in distress. It was his own fucking biological sister and sleep be damned if someone was trying to skewer her. Or rape her for that matter.
In the living room he found the entire Varia cuddling, petting, bringing gifts to and in short, trying to calm Ciel. Lussuria put her down from his bear hug when Xanxus entered with a death glare that despite whatever old saying, probably could and definitely would kill.
He bent down to the crying Ciel and said in a tone of forced gentility 'Ciel? What do you want Ciel?'
Ciel looked up at the brother she adored so much and said through shining tears 'Ice cream'.
