Summary
(Chapter 127, but with a slight tweak... ⚙️🔧)
On a cold, rainy day in London, on November 15, 1889. Agni rushes down the stairs of the townhouse, only to witness six masked intruders vanish just as quickly as they appeared. Moments later, Prince Soma runs down in a panic, having luckily escaped an assassin in his room. In a desperate act of loyalty, Agni gives everything to protect his prince, ultimately sacrificing his life.
An hour later, Sebastian and Ciel arrive to find the Townhouse eerily open and signs of violence scattered throughout. Inside, blood stains and broken furniture lead them to a devastating sight: Agni, upright yet lifeless, holding a door shut with knives in his back. Behind that door, Soma sobs uncontrollably.
Ciel, feeling pitiful for his friend, grants his wish; to give Agni a proper funeral and cremation at Soma’s request. During the five days it takes to arrange everything, Sebastian quietly grieves—clearly struggling as he tries to ignore how affected he really was with different coping habits, from denial and the servants'suggestion.
