The moon was under the sky, stars covered the darkness, an icy wind blew through the air. A perfect dawn for a demon who didn't sleep, despite staying in boredom, protecting the mansion.

As he walks through the mansion to keep everything under control, he passes the hallway to his master's room. The butler hears a cry, like that of a baby. At first, he thinks it is just something in his head, but decides to check it out.

"Young master, are you awake? May I come into the dormitory?"- Asks the butler, knocking lightly on the door.

The crying continues, the fear that something was happening to his master was great, it could be a nightmare, as it could not be. Although it was not very polite of him as a butler, he decided to open the door without his master's permission.

Upon entering the room, he noticed everything in its proper place, with the lamp in his hands, he points to the bed. The child was not visible, but it was noticeable that it was entirely wrapped in a kind of burrow with the blanket.

"Young master?"- Asks the butler, probably certain that his hypothesis about the nightmare was right.

The tall man with the red eyes crouches down beside the bed. His master was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, and it is likely that the dream made the master have some flashback to the moments of terror in the boy's life. Because of this, it was better not to touch the boy, who continued to cry like a baby.

After five minutes had passed and the crying was getting lighter, the boy decided to take his face out of the blanket to see his butler and know if he was safe. As he removes his face, the butler is startled to see the boy sucking his thumb, as if he really were a small baby.

"He's sucking his thumb? I know very well that he is a spoiled brat, but not that he still cultivated this old habit"- So thought the butler.

The butler was in a bit of doubt. His master was like a mini adult, with a child's emotions. But he never thought he would have these baby habits. As he stared and concentrated on a possible explanation, the little boy got out of the blanket completely and got on his knees crouching on the bed, staring at the butler with a sad and tearful face, still with tears falling down his face.

"U-Uppies"- Said the boy staring at the older man.

"Uppies?"- Asked the butler, not understanding what his master was saying.

Realizing that he was not being understood, the boy pointed to the butler's arms. After finding the request strange, he picked up the boy and placed him on his lap. At the same moment, the younger boy tucks his head into the man's shoulder and wraps his arms around the older man's neck. The butler still finds the situation strange, trying to understand. Until he remembers an old psychoanalyst article.

"I remember that when I made the contract with the young master, I read about children. I remember an old article, about child regression. From what I remember, this happens when children feel insecure, abandoned, and unwanted. From what I know about his childhood, he feels these same things. I wonder if he always had that and I never noticed. What a lousy butler"- Thought the butler, as he shook the little one.

Having in mind what could be happening, the butler questioned the master

"Young master, how old do you think you are? Are you feeling small?"- Questioned the butler.

"Two!"- Said the minor, in a delicate and tearful voice.

Realizing that his hypothesis was right, he would have to keep something in mind. The toddler kept sucking his thumb, probably his infant survival instinct trying to calm himself down. The butler continued to nurture the boy, who seemed calmer, but without an ounce of sleep.

"Young master, don't you think you're a little old to be sucking your thumb?"- Asked the butler

The younger one denied with his head. Now would it be like adjusting to that grown-up toddler?
The butler remembered that there were children's toys and accessories in the mansion, Funtom, the master's children's goods company had sent products to sample. There should be something there.
The little boy was still on his lap, uninterested in letting go, with one of his little fingers in his mouth. The butler takes the child and the lamp and goes towards the office. When he arrives, he sees the boxes that had just arrived from the new line of products. As he looks in the first box, there are little gray rabbits.

"Bun, bun!"- Exclaimed the child.

The butler hands the master a rabbit, who is very happy to receive the plush. While searching through the other boxes, he finally finds the box of accessories. There were perfumes, bow ties, berets, ties, and finally, pacifiers and bottles.
The butler wondered if this was the best of two decisions, but at that moment, seeing that his master was behaving like a little child, it wasn't so bad. He went to the kitchen and sterilized the items. It was a gray pacifier and a glass bottle.
He took the boy's hand and wiped it clean.

"Young- Little master, I think you'd better put this in your mouth"- Said the butler, putting the pacifier in the little boy's mouth.

At first, the little one found it strange, but before long he began to get drowsy.

"If it would make him sleepy so quickly, I would use it on him from day one. Better yet, all the time to relieve that terrible mood"- Thought the adult.

Although sleepy, the child was still agitated, wanting to play with the plush he had received. Noticing the boy's restlessness, the man in black decided to make something that the little boy always asked for when he had nightmares, warm milk with honey. The boy was somewhat agitated, and the butler shook the small child a little while stroking his silky hair. The boy gradually calmed down, but still hadn't fallen asleep.

"Doesn't that child sleep?"- Thought the butler.

The butler took the milk-cup and the stored milk, warmed it first to remove impurities, then passed it to the milk-cup. When he realized that it was a pleasant temperature, that it would not hurt the baby's mouth, the butler wrapped the milk with honey and poured it into the milk bottle container.

He took the minor to his room, the boy was reluctant to get off his lap, but gave up when he saw the honeyed milk.

Upon being placed on the bed, the minor soon asked for the milk, which was handed to him. He took it calmly, and each time he took a sip, his eyes fell a little sleepier. At the end of the last sip, the minor was reluctant to sleep.

"This child has insomnia, it's not possible"- Thought the butler.

The butler put the pacifier in the little boy's mouth, to finally put him to sleep. It was already past three in the morning. After a few minutes, the boy was already asleep. At last the peace of dawn for the butler. He still stayed there for a few minutes to make sure that the boy slept. The scene showed the boy's weakness, but it was obvious, he is a child. The butler was tired of being on his lap for so long with a child. He left a lamp in the room, so that the child would feel safe when he woke up and would not find the butler. Calmly, the butler left the room.

"That wasn't so bad"- Thought the butler.
