Hi Anon! Okay, so I’m so sorry for the delay but Soma is one of these characters for whom I’m currently really uncertain about what will happen to him.

Personally, here’s what I want him to do…

…which means that he’d learn about the 2CT and realize that our!Ciel had nothing to do with Agni’s death, that he’d stay by our!Ciel’s side despite everything that happened… because Soma is one of the few characters who really understand Ciel, despite Ciel keeping a lot of things to himself and sometimes acting harshly. 

In other words, Soma becoming the Diedrich to Ciel’s Vincent would be amazing, because Ciel needs more people like him and Lizzie in his life.
Of course Sieglinde and Edward are other characters who are slowly becoming closer to Ciel, but neither share the proximity that Soma has with Ciel in my opinion (Lizzie being yet on another level).

The problem (and the reason I’m not really certain of anything) is that Agni died. So, while I do think that Soma will most likely find out about the 2CT (thanks to Sieglinde and/or Ed probably), the question remains whether he’ll stay in England afterwards or not.

It’s a problem I initially had with Sieglinde back in the GW arc before Ciel made sure to save Wolfram, because how is Soma going to do on his own, without his khansama? Where will he live, what will he do?
That’s why I can’t exclude the idea that Sensei maybe intends on leading him back to India until the final arc or something… ://

Of course, it’d be a development that I currently am not fond of, because I want Ciel and Soma to bond even more, I want Soma to tell Ciel what he really thinks and I want him to stay, but if Soma stays now that Agni is dead and that it really shook him…

it will possibly lead to Soma slowly becoming one of Ciel’s new Evil Nobles (so acting more serious indeed) and this might clash with what Agni wanted for his master. 

Agni wasn’t very happy when he realized how Soma was used in Ciel’s plan to take the Sphere Music Hall down so, if Soma still decides to become Ciel’s Agni after everything that happened, it will most likely lead to more schemes like this, which is also why I’m not certain of what Sensei wants to do with Soma.

In my opinion, there are two big possibilities once the twin is dead/this arc is over:

1. Soma will stay and decide to become Ciel’s Agni at the end of this arc
2. Soma will realize that Ciel didn’t kill Agni but he won’t be able to stay in England after Agni’s death and so we will say goodbye to him until at least the final arc.

For now I’m really hoping for #1, because I love Soma and I think that everything he said in ch126 is relevant + would be helpful to Ciel’s character (especially since him and Ciel do parallel each other), but Agni’s death is creating a lot of uncertainty. ://

Mainly it depends on what Sensei wants to do with Ciel’s character. I mean, if Soma stays because he’ll still want to be Ciel’s Agni, then it implies more positive development for Ciel. If Soma attacks Ciel or if Soma finds out about the truth but still decides to leave however, then Ciel will blame himself even more…

and clearly this isn’t what he needs right now. ://

Sorry that this seems so confusing, Anon. I just… don’t know what’s more likely at this point. Hopefully Soma will stay, I truly hope he will for many reasons, but the master/servant dynamic is such a pattern in Kuro that, after being deprived of his, it kinda throws Soma’s character off-balance…

That’s why we’ll have to see what he does in this arc first, about the twin and about his anger. 

Have a nice day Anon!
