Ciel's eyes widen at the Undertaker's revelation, his mind reeling with the implications of his twisted experiments. The notion of tampering with the boundaries between life and death, manipulating the very essence of what makes a person human, fills him with a mix of awe and horror.

 ________'s frustrated exclamation mirrors his own inner turmoil, their anger and disgust palpable. Ciel's eyes flicker with a mix of irritation and frustration as he listens to Undertaker's explanation. The mortician's nonchalant attitude and disregard for the consequences of his actions only serve to further fuel Ciel's anger. He clenches his fists, his voice filled with a seething intensity.

"Undertaker, do you realize the chaos and danger you have caused with your experiments?" Ciel's voice is sharp and biting, his words punctuated with anger. "You treat human lives as mere playthings, tampering with their very essence. Your actions have led to the creation of these 'bizarre dolls', creatures that seek to claim the souls of the living. You are responsible for the suffering and fear that they have caused!"

Undertaker's eyes glimmer with a mixture of amusement and indifference as he regards Ciel. His voice carries a hint of mockery as he responds.

"Ah, little Earl Phantomhive, always so quick to assign blame. But do you not find it fascinating? The delicate balance between life and death, the intricacies of the soul. It is all a grand experiment, a dance of existence and non-existence."

"I'm bouta punt a bitch..."

"________, calm yourself," Ciel says, his voice firm but tinged with a hint of concern. "We must process this information and determine the best course of action. The Undertaker has certainly played a dangerous game with the balance of life and death, but we cannot afford to let our emotions cloud our judgment."

Ciel's eyes narrow in suspicion as he listens to Undertaker's explanation. His voice is cold and calculated as he responds. "So, you consider these experiments mere 'amusements' for your own curiosity. You tamper with the balance between life and death, creating these 'bizarre dolls' that seek souls to fill their emptiness. It's a sick and twisted game you're playing."

Undertaker chuckles softly, his eyes glinting with madness. "Ah, the purpose, dear earl, is simply for the sake of amusement," he replies, his voice dripping with dark delight, "The eternal kaleidoscope of life and death, of joy and despair. I find it endlessly fascinating. And what better way to satiate my curiosity than by meddling with the boundaries of life itself? The bizarre dolls, moving corpses in the realm between the living and the dead, are a result of my experiments, my attempts to challenge the very fabric of existence."

Ciel and Alois are disgusted yet the Undertaker brushes it off, saying that the Earls are too young to comprehend its beauty. He holds one "Bizarre Doll" fondly, describing them with flawless skin and unusable mouths which are beneficial since they cannot tell lies nor be loud.

When Ciel says that makes him sick, the Undertaker says that that is just Ciel's opinion since there are humans who wish for these Bizarre Dolls as well, astounding the earls and butlers. "These dolls do not feel pain or fear and they eat the living, craving for their souls" The Undertaker muses that it's practically the best animal weapon there is, which shocks the rest of them. The eccentric bunch of humans wants to see the extent of their abilities.

As Ciel's gaze returns to the Undertaker, a steely determination settles in his eyes. "What do you plan to do now? Your experiments have caused chaos and death, and your tampering with the cinematic records has disrupted the natural order of things. You will answer for your actions."

The Undertaker, seemingly unfazed by Ciel's accusatory tone, chuckles softly. "Oh, little lord, you have such a way with words," he says, a wicked glint in his eyes. "As for my plans, well, I find great joy in observing the complexities of life and death. I shall continue my experiments, pushing the boundaries of what is possible."

Ciel's eyes narrow, his voice filled with determination. "No, Undertaker. Your experiments end here. Your actions have caused enough suffering, and I will not allow you to continue to toy with the lives of others."

The Undertaker's smile widens, his eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and defiance. "Oh, how delightfully intriguing," he murmurs, his voice lilting with mischief. "But do you truly have the power to stop me, little lord?"

Ciel's gaze hardens, his voice filled with unwavering resolve. "I may not have the power now, but mark my words, Undertaker. I will find a way to put an end to your twisted games. The balance of life and death must be restored, and I will see to it."

As a result, they experimented by throwing the same amount of humans and Bizarre Dolls together on a luxury cruise ship in order to allow them to kill each other and to see how many survive on each end which Sebastian says is quite deranged. The Undertaker admits that it was an unforeseen development to have crashed into an iceberg though since he has quit being a Grim Reaper so he no longer has the list in his custody.

However, it did saved him the trouble of making it sink himself; it is similar to catching two birds with one stone. Sebastian concludes that if that is so, the ship was never meant to head to America then. The Undertaker tells him that because of them, a lot more humans survived than anticipated so he ponders whether or not he should be angry. ________ speaking up with a sarcastic threat to which Undertaker is amused with.

"And here I am pondering if I should castrate you right now or not..."

"Little _______, your threats are so cute!"

"Oh really? You dunno how 'adorable' I can get..."

Grelle muses that the more the Undertaker talks, the more she is sure that she cannot permit this to pass without interfering. Ronald agrees that a Grim Reaper distorting the way of 'Death' is totally impossible. He envisages the Undertaker and comments that he does not wear glasses, so he is maybe one of those 'deserters' they occasionally see.

The prior Grim Reaper says that he can be anything for all she cares but it is against the rules to come to human world to meddle with the life and death matters. The quickest way to force him to spill some information of how making the corpses move is to tie him up and hand him over to the bosses. She adds that even more than breaking the rules is the crime of hurting her face, which is unforgivable.

Grelle attacks the Undertaker with Ronald doing the same from behind but he is kicked aside by Sebastian. The demon calmly replies that he would be in trouble if he allows them to haul Undertaker off and Ciel explains that they also have a duty to present the truth before the Queen so they can not let him get away. Sebastian clarifies that he, Claude, and the Earls would be the ones who take the Undertaker into custody.

Grelle counters that this is a problem between Grim Reapers so outsiders should stay away in which Sebastian retorts that this is his job as a butler so they are the outsiders who should stay away. Grelle compliments that Sebastian is as 'fascinatingly stoic' as always but if he is intransigent on that matter, then she would not hold back either.

In response, Sebastian remarks that the fact that something like 'hold back' exists in Grelle's dictionary surprises him more than anything today. Ronald declares that they keep the contest simple and have the fastest be the winner and angrily claims that he does not intend to lose to the old geezer, no matter how handsome.  Which, ______ can agree he was handsome, no lie there.
