--- • IT FEELS TIGHT, SUFFOCATING, AND SO DISGUSTING. THE SMELL OF ENSLAVED, DIRTY CHILDREN, AND THE COLD ATMOSPHERE. IT WAS HORRIFYINGLY PERFECT.

Observing the children, I already knew there was something off about them. There are stitches on the side of their heads, a sign that they were cut opened and... modified.

Their eyes were blank, void of sentient, they'll only be tools, dolls, things to their master. They were unfortunate and pitiful, they're even worse than the hopeless children I was with before.

"I remember it well, Earl. The day we first met. That's right. Everything began on that day three years ago." Kelvin turned to look at me with a crazed and proud smile on his face. I stayed silent...

Three years ago? When?

Oh, right, I'm starting to remember. It was a banquet, and father decided to bring me because I just recovered from my illness. I met a younger Kelvin there, also a friend of my father, uncle Claus.

Right...Kelvin was staring at us the whole time during the bangquet. Is that where his odd obsession started?

Then his mutters started, how he thought that special humans can only touch other special humans just because my father didn't pay mind to him.

"No, you disgusting bastard, he just probably didn't like you...I mean, how would he like you, anyway?" I thought to myself. To us Phantomhives, usefulness is a must, father didn't notice you because you were useless to him. Because why even pay mind to someone so incompetent?

Kelvin then started to believe it was his ugliness so he stubbornly decided to do surgery, which led to his current appearance. How foolish of him.

"I still remember that pain form that night. I sacrificed everything to meet you, but I was the only one who couldn't. I wondered why fate pulled us apart like this." He kooked at me with the same crazed expression.

"But then one night, they all dissapeared. It was you, wasn't it?  You kill them all."

And then for a moment, I can see bloody corpses all around me, each of them wearing black garments. The dead bodies of the kidnappers, children, everyone.

"I was so jealous. A beautiful ending to be seen off by that cold moon. Please let me taste that joy."

He is so obsessed and crazed that it left me speechless and disgusted. I only kept my gun pointed at him, but he seems so delighted to be killed by me. "Look! I prepared everything to be like that day! The ceremony space, the lambs. Lastly, you, Earl...You!"

His words do things in my head that I don't like, I hate it. The feeling of remembering that day when my life completely changed, that day when he
...he.

Blood splattered from his large belly, Joker gasped, Kelvin still smiled, and I have my gun pointed at him. I started to breaght heavily, face panicked and uncomfortable, I felt like puking.

"FATHER!" I believe Joker charged towards me, but Sebastian probably took care of him. And by the sound of it, he cut of Joker's arm. "Can you please do not disturb my master?" Sebastian tiredly said.

Kelvin fell to the floor, "It hurts, Earl. It hurts so much!" He gasped and crawled towards me and hugged my leg while pathetically begging. "If you must kill me, do it kike you did the others..."

I look down at him, "Like them?" Then I kicked him off my foot and stepped in his bandaged head. I pointed my gun at him, "Then get on your knees like a worm and beg to a demon." I ordered.
