That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Slumber

Ciel and Sebastian stand before the entrance of the Undertaker's shop, their expressions a mix of hope and desperation. The rain continues to fall, drenching their clothes, but they pay it no mind, their sole focus on finding a solution to awaken _______ from their mysterious slumber.

As they step inside the dimly lit shop, the scent of death and decay fills the air. Undertaker, with his wild hair and eerie smile, greets them with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Ah, my dear earl," he says in his sing-song voice. "What brings you to my humble abode today?"

Ciel's voice is filled with urgency as he explains _________'s condition, the unresponsiveness and the prolonged coma-like state. "Undertaker, we need your help," he says, his voice firm. "We've exhausted all other options. Please, tell us if there's anything you know that can wake ________ up."

Undertaker's smile widens, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling light. "Ohoho, how intriguing," he says, his voice filled with a mix of amusement and curiosity. "A slumber that defies explanation, you say? Hmm, I do love a good mystery."

He leads them deeper into the shop, the atmosphere growing even more eerie as they descend into the basement. Strange artifacts and macabre objects line the shelves, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Finally, Undertaker stops before a dusty old bookshelf and pulls out a worn, leather-bound book.

"Lets see here shall we? Hehehe, I rather adore _______'s humor and it would be oh so saddening if they are unable to give me laughter anymore... This information will be on the house" Undertaker skims through a few pages, asking for any of the symptoms within the pages he is reading.

"Nausea? Any trauma to the head? Perhaps a sudden fever? Pains in certain places?"

Ciel and Sebastian exchange glances, their anticipation growing as Undertaker reads through the pages of the old book. Ciel's voice is filled with a mix of hope and impatience as he answers Undertaker's questions. "Yes, there was nausea, and ________ did experience a sudden fever," he says, his voice quick and eager. "But there was no trauma to the head, and the pain seemed to be more internal."

Undertaker's eyes sparkle with interest as he continues to flip through the pages, his bony fingers tracing the faded text. "Ah, here we are," he says, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and curiosity. "It seems that Lumine may have fallen victim to a rare affliction known as 'Soul Paralysis.'"

Ciel's eyebrows furrow in concern as he leans closer, his voice laced with urgency. "Soul Paralysis? What is that, and how can we wake ________ from it?" he asks, his voice filled with a mix of desperation and determination.

Undertaker's grin widens, his eyes glinting with a macabre delight. "Soul Paralysis occurs when one's soul becomes trapped between the realm between the living and the dead," he explains, his voice dripping with eerie fascination. "To awaken ________, they must retrieve their soul from the depths of the their mind."

Sebastian's expression hardens, his voice filled with determination. "Tell us how to proceed," he demands, his voice firm and unwavering. "We will do whatever it takes to bring _________ back."

Undertaker chuckles softly, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and intrigue. "Ohoho, I must say my lord it isn't going to be an easy fix. As ___________ will have to face certain facts themself. Only when they retrieve their soul, will they awaken. Unfortunately there is little we can do for them"

Ciel clenches his fists, his determination unwavering. "I don't care how difficult it may be," he says, his voice resolute. "I will do whatever it takes to bring _________ back. Please, tell us how we can retrieve their soul."

Undertaker leans closer, his voice dropping to a low, ominous whisper. "To retrieve _________'s soul, they must enter their own mind through a deep state of meditation," he explains, his eyes glinting with an eerie light. "Once inside, they will encounter fragments of their memories, fears, and desires. They must navigate through this maze and find the core of their being, where their soul is trapped."

Sebastian's eyes narrow, his voice filled with determination. "And how do we guide ________ through this maze?" he asks, his voice steady and resolute. Undertaker's smile widens, his voice filled with a subtle hint of mischief. "Ah, that is the interesting part," he says, his tone laced with intrigue. "No one can"

Ciel's brows furrow in frustration, his voice tinged with impatience. "What do you mean, no one can guide _________ through the maze You just said-?" he demands, his tone firm. "There must be a way to help them navigate and retrieve their soul."

Undertaker's eyes twinkle mischievously as he leans back, folding his arms across his chest. "Oh, there is none unfortunately," he says, his voice dripping with cryptic amusement. "But it requires ________ to confront their own inner demons, their deepest fears and desires, without any external guidance."

Sebastian's voice holds a hint of concern as he speaks up. "Undertaker, are you suggesting that Lumine must face these challenges alone?" he asks, his voice filled with genuine worry.

Undertaker nods slowly, his expression grave. "Indeed," he replies. "Only by facing their own demons and making choices that reflect their true desires can __________ navigate through the maze and retrieve their soul."

Ciel clenches his fists, his determination resurfacing. "Then we must prepare Lumine for this journey," he declares, his voice filled with conviction. "We will do whatever it takes to help them confront their fears and desires. Please, Undertaker, guide us on how to proceed."

"All you can do is wait my lord. The best you can do to help is be by their side as much as you can." The Undertaker exclaims, as he sits against one of his many coffins within the shop. Chuckling as he watches Ciel and Sebastian's worried expressions "Now now, worry not much. If _________is anything, they're stubbornly free. A caged bird never fares well subdued."

"_______ will return. Simply wait for them to come home.."

And that's how they returned to the manor, with little to nothing. Only determination and hope in their minds as they visit the sleeping ________. Both master and butler gazing at the servant's slumbering form, with wishes of their awakening waiting on their lips..

Ciel and Sebastian return to the manor, their hearts heavy with worry but also filled with a glimmer of hope. They enter ______'s room, the atmosphere quiet and serene. ________ lays in their bed, peacefully sleeping, their breathing steady and calm.

Ciel approaches the bedside, his eyes locked on ________'s peaceful face. He reaches out, gently brushing a strand of hair away from their forehead. "_________," he whispers, his voice filled with a mixture of longing and determination. "Please come back to us. We're waiting for you."

Sebastian stands silently beside Ciel, his eyes fixed on __________'s slumbering form. His voice is soft but steady as he speaks, his words filled with unwavering loyalty. "We will be here, always," he says, his voice carrying a silent promise. "Until you awaken, _________, we will wait patiently by your side."

Days turn into weeks, and still ________remains in their deep slumber. Ciel and Sebastian take turns watching over them, tending to their needs and hoping for their return. The manor is filled with an air of anticipation and a sense of longing, each passing day bringing a renewed determination to bring _________ back.
