Summary
Ciel’s breath caught. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms as he struggled to contain the panic welling in his chest. None of this made sense. None of it was right. He turned abruptly toward Lukus, his voice sharp and low. “What year is it?”
Lukus blinked. “Dude, what?”
“The year,” Ciel snapped. “What year is it?”
“Uh… It’s 2023?” Lukus said slowly, concern creeping into his tone. “You seriously didn’t know that?” Ciel staggered back a half-step, his heart thudding in his ears. The number struck him—foreign, massive, impossible, over a century beyond what he knew. The reality settled over him. This wasn’t just another place. This was another time.
『••✎••』
Ciel Phantomhive, who awakens in the modern world, confused, injured, and severed from Sebastian, his demonic butler. He's taken in by a sarcastic but ultimately kind art student named Lukus, and as Ciel tries to make sense of the future, he uncovers that his entire past has been erased from history.

Summary
Her lips curved faintly. “The incident.”
Of course. That word again. Incident. He shifted on the couch, rubbing at the scar on his wrist from the IV drip. “I don’t remember anything new, if that’s what you’re asking. Still the same blank spot. Hospital, nurse, a bunch of questions I couldn’t answer. Then… here.”
Dr. Alden nodded. “You’ve mentioned the dreams. Are they still happening?”
Lukus hesitated. “Not as often. They’re… inconsistent.”
“Tell me about the last one.”
He stared at the ceiling, tracing the pattern of a water stain that looked almost like an eye. “I was standing in a field. The sky was gray. There was this… sound. Like wings? But not birds. Bigger. Then—” He stopped, brow furrowing. “Then I wake up.”
『••✎••』
Angela’s forced retreat wasn’t the end, it was a pause. Angela’s actions brought attention from higher, colder powers. They send another enforcer, an archangel who sees both Angela and Ciel as threats to divine order. Lukus, now lost in time, becomes an unwitting pawn in this celestial chessboard, and Ciel is forced to decide whether to protect him again, or sacrifice him to keep Hell’s balance intact.
