Why this must be read:

The end of the Circus Arc is one of the key moments of the manga, and the unambiguous horror of its events, combined with the careful ambiguity Toboso preserves around Ciel's and Sebastian's motives, makes it a favorite subject for writers.

Here, fairbreeze gives us a beautiful and dreadful look into the mind of one possible Ciel: a Ciel who is as damned as his demon, who knows that and may even welcome it -- and for whom it is still possible to have pity.
