Exposition

To continue onwards while facing your failures, or to start over and face those failures again; that is the curse of the ones who control the universal clock.

A bloody war is what lies ahead, and the outcome determines whether or not Ciel and his sister, Aria, will restart that war. Experience begets knowledge, sometimes so that such knowledge was obtained in the most painful ways. The war was won many times, but those who stood in ceremony were never the same. It is that agonizing reminder that the siblings choose to fight this war over and over again. The burden weighs heavily on their shoulders, but until the day comes that they can stand with all of their comrades at the very end, they will continue to fight.
