[Image description: 2 drawings of Freckles and Ciel Phantomhive in profile. Freckles’ arms are folded, while Ciel’s are at his sides. The first shows them laughing at the fairgrounds. The second mimics the original poses, showing them angrily glaring at each other amidst a fire. There’s a shadow over Freckles’ face, hiding their eyes. /End description.]
By far, one of my favorite quotes from HP & DH. I found it very touching that when Snape desperately wanted to find Harry… Voldemort compared him to Lucius Malfoy of all people; the man whose sole focus and worry at the time was finding his son. I love the ambiguous meaning of it. I see it as a little hint that Snape cared enough about Harry that even Voldy could subconsciously sense fatherlike distress from him.
I actually think the best way for Soma to "avenge" on RCiel is for him to find out the twins' issues, realising RCiel is just like past him to Mina, and actually forgiving him: like I want to see Soma telling R!Ciel off right into his face that he's just an immature and insecure child who struggles and failed to control his beloved brother and has no worth to be avenged on, then return to Bengal after claiming he'll always be his little brother's friend no matter how pissed off RC might be...
Hey Anon! Nah, nah, as much as I want Soma to become our!Ciel’s Agni, I really hope he helps taking real!Ciel’s operation down and won’t forgive him.
To explain: I definitely agree with you that, even though the main theme of this series is revenge, it is slowly demonstrated to be a painful and dangerous path that won’t bring any good, even less comfort or solace.
Therefore, our!Ciel, Soma… following the revenge path will only bring them more pain, in a similar fashion to UT who won’t be able to move on and heal by focusing on the past (bringing back dead loved ones) rather than on the present/future (saving our!Ciel from Seb and protecting the rest of them++).
That’s why I agree with you that it’s not good development for Soma to be the one killing the twin out of revenge for Agni, simply because he indeed will gain much more solace by helping our!Ciel (”becoming his Agni”) with realizing that he belongs with his family and friends as who he is.
In other words, we don’t know what Soma understands about the current situation yet. However, because revenge brings nothing good, trying to achieve it would lead him into a dark abyss that he probably won’t come back from.
That doesn’t mean that Soma has to forgive real!Ciel though. Agni’s death was unnecessary, unfair and extremely violent. Besides, real!Ciel is an antagonist who, because he’s dead, is far beyond redemption. Therefore, the narrative won’t benefit from anyone forgiving him.
I hope I managed to explain properly. Thanks for passing by and have a nice day. :))
