The battle between Sebastian and one of the Grim Reapers heats up as the two of them seek possession of Ciel Phantomhive. The Grim Reaper enjoys stealing memories from their victims as they die, and he recounts tales of Madame Red’s life before her death. And he looks forward to consuming Sebastian’s memories.

Ordered by Ciel Phantomhive to destroy the Grim Reaper, Sebastian jumps into action. The Grim Reaper lands the first blow, but Sebastian disables the Reaper’s chainsaw, nullifying his advantage. As he’s about to dispatch the Reaper, he is prevented by another Reaper who is here to collect the rogue Reaper.

The burial of Madame Red brings out family members of the Phantomhive clan, however, and Ciel must now entertain his demanding aunt, Francis...
