Alright, then… This is the end. Ha, it's so unnatural for me to think that... Young master… I hope he'll be alright… Goodbye, then. Everyone. Undertaker, young master, Lady Elizabeth, Madame Red, Ronald, William, Claude, Alois, Hannah… Even you, Grell, who's probably watching my cinematic record, after all. Just goodbye. I… I hope that maybe someday… I'll see you again. You've all become a part of my life, so farewell… And thank you.


~ GRELL'S P.O.V ~

I closed the cinematic record book as I realized what had just happened. And in my heart, I know that I could've helped. I've somehow convinced Will to go out with me, and we're a nice little family. I do enjoy telling my new daughter, Chantal, about all of the things I've done with Ciel and Sebastian. Will was a little surprised when I started calling them by their real names, but it's only respectful since… Ah, it seems like it was just yesterday that Sebastian was getting angry at me for being so stupid and not having any manners… But I'm doing fine. Sometimes, I visit the Phantomhive manor and check on Ciel. He likes having me over there most of the time, but sometimes he prefers to be alone. It's a nice life I have, but I realized that things like this don't last. Eventually, I'll be gone, too. And I'm fine with it. Everyone's been calling me a lady, and I've been living well. I've also been having second thoughts about the color Red. It's stolen everything I've ever cared about… But Sebastian would want me to keep loving red, wouldn't he? Alright, then, I guess… It's settled. I'll live my life to the fullest, nothing less!


~ ANNA'S P.O.V ~

I was so afraid… Until I saw you drop. I looked over at Ciel, and he did everything in his right mind to save you, Mr. Michaelis. I just hope you'll have a better life, wherever you're going. You are a demon, after all. So… how should I know? I… I want you to smile for me, 'kay? And… And I just want you to know… You were cool. You were my favorite teacher, and… I want to thank you for that. I didn't have a family to come home to or anything to live for besides Taylor, and we're finally together again… Taylor, Pryce, and I. Pryce isn't so bad, once you get to know him… I know… I know you'll probably disapprove of me hanging out with him, but… Yeah… And I know how much you appreciated your jokes, so… I updated your Facebook status on your phone a week after you died. It says, "Wow! We get Wi-Fi in the afterlife!?" It's funny, huh? Not the… status thing, but… How it all turned out. Ciel's pretty lonely, too. I guess Pryce was wrong. He didn't want to be alone or afraid. He just wanted… Well, you. You were his everything Sebastian. Thanks for keeping him happy. Lots of love… Anna.


~ CIEL'S P.O.V ~

I stood in front of the funeral home, gathering my thoughts… I told you not to die for me… But you went and did it anyway… I'd slap you if you were here, but… You aren't. Why'd you leave like that? You weren't helping anyone by killing yourself there, Sebastian… You certainly didn't help me… The reason we moved to America was because I wanted to start a new life as a demon… with you. I wanted to leave the past behind and just see if I could have a normal friendly relationship with you… That night, you sang me that song… I still remember the song, Sebastian…

Lay your head down,

Fall asleep…

When you wake,

I'll be here to see.

Don't worry,

I won't leave your side…

Until the bell rings

And you will die…

Lay your head down,

Don't hesitate.

I will be here

When you wake.

Don't worry,

I won't leave this place,

Until all goes wrong

And you finish your race…

Even if the flowers wilt

And light is left behind...

I'll be in the shadows,

Waiting for you,

Until the end of time...

I miss you, Sebastian… You left… You said you wouldn't, but… I crumpled the paper in my hands, knowing that whining about it wouldn't help. And you said you'd hate to see me like this... I look back up at the funeral home, taking a single step before feeling a warm hand on my shoulder. I looked over and saw the one thing I wanted most of all.

"Don't cry, young master. It'll be alright."

The End of Book One.
