[ Video ] 2: Pool of (Gilbert's!) Tears

[ This bright Sunday morning finds Gilbert Nightray sitting behind the wheel of a black jaguar convertible. ]

I'm realizing that I've been a rut, lately. All I do is look after my young master, fret about things uselessly, and work.

[ It isn't his car. ]

So I thought I'd go for a drive, reacquaint myself with the city. Would anyone care to join me? You could point out some things that I've been taking for granted.

[ In fact, he's never driven a car before. ]

I'd be happy to exchange a lift in exchange for a bit of tour guiding, what do you say?

[ Xerxes Break is "borrowing" Ciel Phantomhive's car and Gilbert's body. The feed ends with the sound of a powerful engine growwwwwwwwling to life! ]

Now, now. This is the ultimate in mutually beneficial agreements. I'm going to take good care of your body; and you take care of mine.

[...................Awkward silence.]

No, you're right...we don't really have any other choice...

--But just how does ruining my reputation like this count as taking care of my body, exactly?!

Ha! Ha! Ha! It doesn't~♪

This is just a little favor I'm doing for you, okay?

How is it a favor?!

[Oh, this is going to be good.]

I know you can't see this, but--

[ Break tosses the seaweed fringe out of his eyes; except, on him, it looks more like carelessly tousled dark waves of hair. ]

I make being you look good. You're going to get a loooooooot of attention at the end of all this! ♥

I DON'T WANT ATTENTION!

[Head properly dropping into his hands, he goes straight into a patented Embarrassed Gilbert Rant.]

I just want to make myself as insignificant and invisible as possible in all social situations possible until the day that this damned place finally lets me go home and get on with more important things...! What makes you think that I'd want anything but that?! You're the one who made sure that women stopped approaching me back home with their ridiculous proposals! And what do you mean - look good?! What are you even doing to yourself?! To me?! I mean--

[Interrupt him, Break, this might take him a while.]

Aiyaaaah~!

Mister Gilbert, how ungrateful you are. I'm simply continuing your education. Teaching you how to use anything and everything at your disposal.

Including - the ~fairer~ sex!

I DON'T NEED TO LEARN ABOUT THAT!

[The words are muffled since Gilbert is hiding his borrowed face in his hands at the moment.]

Yes you do~♪

[ It's all going to plan. If he can make Gilbert go to pieces over inconsequential things, perhaps he'll fail to dwell on what's actually serious. ]

It's an invaluable skill. Useful.

[Just as planned, Break.]

It's not useful at all! And besides - why would I learn it from someone like you?!

[Yep, calling out your man-skills.]

Ahhh, let's talk about it later.

[ Any microscopically minute shred of misgivings he might have had about encouraging Hattie is gone, gone! ]

Must dash, got to see the city now. Byeeeeeeeeeee~☆

[He's about to snap back, but there's something about the way that Break says that that shuts him up. See the city. He's able to actually see the streets, see exactly what the cars and buildings and pastries in this city all look like. When this finally wears off and they turn back, he won't have the chance again.

It might not be the same to Break, but to Gilbert, this darkness is lonely.

He smashes the buttons on the NV until it turns off, so Break might get the last word in this conversation, but not without a parting:]
