——— • Evangeline walks towards Joker and surprisingly helps him get up, and she even assisted him on sitting on the altar. "Is everybody comfortable? I guess so," and so she started explaining.

"Let's go back to when lord Phantomhive and I snuck in the main troupe's tents, whilst going back, Joker kidnapped and drugged me...I expected that to happen," she stated. Joker narrowed his eyes at her.

"Now, next is how did I escape the doctor? Simple, I woke earlier than expected and broke his kneecaps, and then after that I replaced myself with a doll— I thought it wouldn't work, but Joker didn't even noticed~!"

Sebastian raised a brow, "I suggest that you've forgotten something, about the children that died today," he reminded.

Eve smirked, "Right, I used the dolls that belongs to the doctor, and filled them with the blood from his office," she revealed. And that's the end of her explanation.

Joker growled, "This is it, you two found out everything...we lost," he grieved. No one could help him now, Kelvin is dead, tge doctor can't do anything, and there's three monsters infrot of him.

Eve smiled slyly, "Have I done a great job, my lord?" She walked closer to Ciel and lifted her left arm and pointed at Joker and tge doctor. Ciel nods, "I underestimated you, indeed. Is this your true nature, then?" He asks.

Eve chuckled in amusement, "True nature, you say? Perhaps, perhaps~"

"So, my lady, what's your next plan?" He inquires.

"My original plan was to free the kidnapped children and bring them back to their families...but—" Eve observed the remaining children, it was disturbing, and heartbreaking. She can't imagine how tgeir parents would react.

"I'm not even sure if they can be turned back to normal," Ciel adds. Evangeline agrees, "But saving isn't my job, it's yours, so you'll have to deal with it." She bluntly says.

Her attention then diverts to Joker, "Your friends aren't dead...yet," she said. Joker gasps and looks up at her with a tint of hope in his eyes, "What?"

"I sent a last minute letter to not kill them, the ones who were sent to the Phantomhive manor are also fine," she said. Her words confused Ciel, "How do you know that they're not dead?" he asked.

"Your butler makes the imposible, possible," she simply answers while staring at the said butler. Sebastian only smirked down at her.

Joker began tearing up, the news of his friends being alive made him feel so, so relieved. "They're alive... they're alive," he muttered thankfully. Ciel onky looked at him blankly, but pity was evident in his eyes.

Everything is going so smoothly with Eve's plan—

"MORIARTY!!!" Ciel screamed her name. Eve was suddenly shoved over to the altar by one of the children, and Joker was hit in the head with a bone by the doctor. The doctor laughed hysterically, "Who decided that this was the end?! Fuck you!"

Eve tried to stand...but her bidy can't move. "What the— you!" She noticed that one of the kids who pushed her has a syringe in hand, she cussed, feeling her eyelids slowly close. Drugged again!
