   Summary

   Sebastian Michaelis, in an attempt to sate the lulls between worthwhile contracts, has had many jobs in the human world; chef, butler, assassin, jockey, the list goes on. Each one has helped him learn more about the intricacies of mankind, which in turns helps him manipulate them better.

   Some years ago he decided to try fostering; helping broken children gave him better insight of modern man, and how best to manipulate them once they reach adulthood (as children souls are tasteless and lacking). He plans to find them as adults, many years down the line, to break their trust with him and devour their souls the moment they shatter. But then he’s placed with the most complicated boy he’s ever seen—a boy named Ciel—everything changes. Why does he genuinely want this child to heal? To succeed? To smile, to laugh, to live a long life and pass away peacefully.

   Is this what humans call feeling “paternal”?

   Oh. Oh, oh no.
