[Ciel's in his night-things, sitting in a high-backed chair, and the smirk on his lips is particularly nasty tonight. The eyepatch is back in place, and his posture is abysmal, the back of his hand propping up his chin.

[Negi has seen many expressions on Ciel's face, but this one is just scary enough to make him shiver. He'll suppress it, though, but it's still evident that it makes him uncomfortable.]

... what brought this on?

[He sees it. He always sees it. The smile widens just barely at the corners.]

People. They trust that everyone around them remains willfully blind.

How sad that it's a bet with very good odds.

Is this referring to yourself, as well?

That I am willfully blind, or that I trust others will be?

Either or.

Willful blindness comes with ignorance, and faith.

I have neither.

And you of all people should know by now... that I don't trust.

...

I trust, but I don't trust everyone. Does that make me pathetic?

It makes you Negi.

[It's hard to figure out where he means that as an insult or not...]

[He gives a curious bit of a headtilt, expression carefully masked in case it isn't an insult.]

You trust your allies. You are suspicious of your enemies.

Trust is a problem only when one is suspicious of friends and trusting those that should be enemies.

I never said that trusting in someone deserving of it was pathetic. However, because you do not trust me not to call you pathetic, your paranoia invented the insult.

That is what I am talking about.

[Ouch, Ciel.]

... I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to be so quick to assume.

You're correct. I trust my allies, and I am wary of my enemies. But... in cases such as yours, I'm not sure what to do.

I want to trust you, because I... still think of you as my friend. Even if you don't. But at the same time, how you've acted towards me and how you've treated me in the past makes me suspicious. You've hurt me in the past, and yet I remain like a foolish puppy.

Something changed in you. I saw it. I was reprimanded for unintentionally bringing it up. I'm not sure what it was, but you were so... happy. You trusted me more easily.

[He pauses a moment, and them presses a few buttons on the PCD, setting things to a private filter.]

[Private//Unhackable]

Ciel... I think I'm beginning to piece things together.

Sebastian became defensive when I began speaking about your birthday. I had no reason to believe that you wouldn't make your birthday, and yet he kept pressing the issue. He never said outright, but... things he did say made me believe that something had happened.

You were perfectly happy while you were here. You spoke of your parents. You've never talked about them before.

I can only derive from this that... something happened on your birthday. Something that... involved your parents.

[Unconcerned, Ciel lifts a teacup to his lips, taking a slow drink, giving no outward indication of whether or not Negi has anything at all right.]

What do you think happened, Negi?

I know for a fact that you don't like speaking about your birthday. Last week, you seemed so excited for it. And Sebastian didn't want me to do anything to upset you regarding that fact.

If my assumptions are correct, and that birthday is indeed the point where you so drastically changed, something traumatic had to have happened. I'm not sure that something happening to your eye would be enough to change your entire attitude, because I've seen other people with similar disabilities that haven't been so drastically affected. Whatever happened to your eye, it could have very well happened during the event that resulted in your change. It would either have to have been a personal trauma, or something involving your family.

Seeing as you are still alive... I'm sorry, but as morbid as it may be... it makes me believe that one member of, if not your entire family, died that day.
