Episode 11: Crossroads Butler Next week is already the end. Can't believe on how time flies. It's so fast when you are having fun right?!?!Anyway, this has been a revealing episode. I really feel for Hannah and her undying love for Alois, but still, I don't feel her that much.  So happy for Ciel's coming back to his senses, even if it is just for a while :) I am again using ayu's screenshot. I failed to download a raw episode that I can use for screencaps. So many thanks! As the episodes starts, we see that Ciel can now sort through the memories that he can see. He now knows that some of the memories that he can see is not his. So this episode is basically a maze where Claude and Sebby played. The maze has their own pit stop where they will stamp their card, to reflect their progress in the game. The maze reflects the heart of the owner so initially, the maze is based on Alois' life but as Ciel tries to fight for his body rights, the maze changes to reflect his heart. If they answered wrong in the maze, then they will suffer the wrath of the rose bushes. I won't go to the details of the maze, so let me just present in bullet form the revealed information: The name Alois Trancy was given by Earl Trancy, whom we all know as the person who molested Jim Macken. Alois Trancy's favorite food is Fried Fish and Chips. No doubt that Ciel has already obtained his revenge. However, Sebastian failed to devour his soul because Sebby lost his arm with the seal of the contract in the middle of his fight. (Remember, he lost one hand in S1, so apparently, that hand is important). With the small space of time that Sebastian lost the seal, Claude Faustus came in and stole Ciel's soul. Claude was really the one who ended the life of Alois Trancy. He did that not because of his burning desire for his soul, but because he is using Alois as a tool to obtain Ciel Phantomhive's soul. Luca did made a contract with a demon. But not with Sebastian. He contracted with Hannah Annafellows, the "Sheath" that suppresses the Demon Sword. Claude knew all along that Hannah contracted Luca. Hannah has a very strong attachment to the soul of Alois Trancy, so she really decided worked for Claude.  For a short while though, Ciel gained control of his body and issued a new order to Sebastian. What are you lazily standing there for? You obtained me my revenge. This an order! Come and eat my soul already! Until the very moment that you eat all of my soul, you are my butler! Sebastian Michaelis!As for Alois, he is really a person looking and longing for love. He wanted Claude to love him, but Claude has his eyes set for someone else. In the maze, Claude strongly asserts that Alois is just a tool for him to use to obtain the soul of Ciel Phantomhive. Hannah, on the other hand, felt attached and loved Luca who dearly loved his brother Jim. After the village has been destroyed and Luca's soul has been consumed, Hannah spent the rest of her days to show her love to Alois. Even if she has been disrespected by Alois or was hated by him, her joy rests in the fact that she is able to be with Alois. The episode ended with Hannah creating a contract with Alois Trancy. And since Alois is in Ciel's body, Ciel's soul has been included in the whole contract. Before Alois collapsed, Alois still told Claude that whatever happens, he will always be his Highness. A truce has also been made between Claude and Sebby as their dear bocchan is in a big pinch right now. Now, for some weird moments: In the beginning of this episode, Claude was like: "I will only embrace Ciel Phantomhive's soul" and Sebby gave the LOOKS as he says "That's disgusting!". Alois scratching his chest?! This is so random!!!! And poor Grell!!! Sebby is obviously using him but love is blind, right Grell? And Hannah, your original look is WAY better than the maid outfit.
