I’ll let the demon hear my sins.

KME Tarot Bingo: The Hanged Man (Surrender, letting go, new perspective)

In a desolated castle outside of Prague, whilst the whole country was on the brink of the Velvet Revolution, two figures were lurking in the shadows. The light coming from the television was the only source that illuminated their faces.

“Do you think they are ready for us again?” Sebastian arched his left eyebrow. He faced the boy, who would never age. He would be more than a hundred years old if he were still human. Ciel declared himself “dead” to live a new chapter of his life. He and Sebastian went on to see the world between heaven and hell.

“I’ve been a demon all my life, Ciel. It is not hard work to be with humans and move the same way like them. I am a living proof.” Sebastian replied, albeit condescendingly.

Who could forget that fateful day when Alois Trancy denied the demon butler’s intention to devour Ciel’s soul? And irony of ironies, Ciel got what he wanted, the killers of his parents were dead, but it meant he also couldn’t die. Most of all, he and Sebastian were inseparable.

“Perhaps, it is time to face the music once again?” Sebastian suggested, a bit irritated.

“I am missing Bard. Let’s go to the Americas and stay there for a while. And be rock stars.” Ciel smirked.

“Surely, this is not one of those whims of yours.” The butler stayed glued to the TV, watching what was happening on the streets of the Czech capital.

“It is getting noisy in this part of town.”

“Noisy?” Sebastian chuckled. “Very well. As you wish,” Sebastian bowed down to Ciel. It was a habit he couldn’t help doing sometimes.
