80. Paradox
Up, down, right, wrong, Earl, Count. Ciel no longer knew the differences between these things. Memories conflicted with each other in his mind and he couldn't tell where one ended and the next one began. He remembered his house on fire, he remembered the village burning on the river, he remembered London up in flames. His parents, his brother, the queen.
The queen? Had the queen killed his parents? But no, that was the Queen's Spider. But that was wrong too. It had been Sebastian. Sebastian had burned down the village. Sebastian had taken away his brother, his salvation, his parents. His parents? Or his brother? It was his parents, right? Or could it have been the queen? Did Sebastian kill the queen? No that was his brother. Sebastian took his brother's soul. But Ciel didn't have a brother, right? So then it was his parents. Sebastian had taken his parents souls. Then he burned down the village, where his brother died. London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. My Fair Lady.
Sebastian. That was the only thing Ciel could grab onto. Sebastian was the source of everything. Sebastian killed his parents. Sebastian killed his brother. Sebastian may have even killed the queen. Sebastian burned the village, and Sebastian set his house aflame. Sebastian. Sebastian was the one to blame for the humiliation he suffered. The torture, the... the touching? Yes, it was Sebastian's fault he had to let that filthy man touch him. It was Sebastian's fault he'd been kidnapped. Kidnapped and... and what? He'd been kidnapped? No, he'd been sold and abused, all because of Sebastian. Sebastian was to blame for his humiliation. Sebastian. Sebastian...
...Falling down. My fair lady.
"Young Master!"
"Get away from me!"
