Sebastian looked carefully at the documents he assembled.

"Oh, if I could speak to that bastard right about now…." He muttered under his breath. Sebastian isn't fond of Undertaker. He never showed his purpose of existing, unlike humans, and, one more thing he did that was unlike humans, he never hinted at what he was truly thinking. He always left Sebastian feeling puzzled, insecure, and somehow, alarmed. He did always provide useful information, but Sebastian always had the nagging feeling that Undertaker looked for more payment than just laughter. Sebastian never thought he'd say this, but right now, he really needed help from the creepy, smiling, rogue death reaper.

Vera's soul interested Sebastian. He never sensed anything like it before. No creature he ever encountered had a soul that pulsed like Vera's. But he has absolutely no information to lay his hands on to find out more about what Vera is. The only connection he sees is the name Margaret Connor. The name of Undertaker's first "successful" experiment. Vera's "other half" share the same name, which Sebastian doubts is a coincidence. To make things even more difficult, the supernatural world has no written documents to record the history and population of it. Unlike humans, the supernatural species aren't as caring about education and network. There is no way Sebastian can research the supernatural world to answer a question he's never been asked before.

"You look puzzled." A sweet familiar voice sounded from behind. Sebastian turned around to see Vera, leaning against the doorframe.

"Puzzled is exactly what I am." Sebastian chuckled.

"What are you puzzling over?" Vera said as she walked over to take a seat besides Sebastian on his bed.

"You." Sebastian said quietly.

"Me?"

"Yes, you."

Vera tilted her head and looked at Sebastian questioningly. "I'm not that hard to figure out. Just a lost girl from a bad laboratory who's generously been taken in by Master Ciel and named Vera."

"Well, that is true but there is something more to…. Laboratory…!"

"Yes, bad, bad laboratory."

"Vera, do you remember anything from the laboratory?"

Vera nodded.

"Do you know… what they did to you?"

Judging from the state in which Vera was found, and the number tattooed on the back of her neck, it was obvious Vera came from the same laboratory Finnian was from. And for Finnian, the scientists cursed him with superhuman strength. It is possible those scientists were able to come up with different abilities to "gift" their prisoners with…

Sadly, though, Vera shook her head. "They only wanted to know what my body is like."

Sebastian raised a brow. "Elaborate for me, please?"

Vera sighed. "Well, Finnian sometimes tells me about what happened after those bad scientists put different medicine in him… but I'm not the same. I don't feel any different from after those scientists took samples of parts of my body… I don't notice any change in myself…

Sebastian didn't miss a word of what Vera had said.

"Samples? They only took samples? Didn't they try to give you shots? Drugs? Anything?"

Vera shook her head. "No, just took things, like blood, hair, all that."

Sebastian considered her statement carefully. He thought back to the night he found Vera in the dark alley. Vera had pushed back a man and drove him into a wall far from her, and Sebastian was quick to judge that she had the same "gift" as Finnian. However, he had noticed over time that Vera has shown no sign of any superhuman strength in the last months she had stayed at the manor. Perhaps the power she displayed is connected to her other half, Margaret?

"Vera, you know about the girl inside you, the stronger you?"

Vera nodded. "Margaret Connor."

"Yes, Margaret Connor. What do you know about her?"

It took a while before Vera answered. "Not much. She only shows up when there's bad things."

"Bad things?"

"Yes, bad things. Like... I don't know how to word this but, I… I hand myself over to Margaret without knowing, and, when I come back, someone is dead."

Sebastian nodded thoughtfully. It would make sense if Margaret was the one with strength, since after Vera had pushed the man away, he had died. And when Sebastian had found Margaret singing, Amelia had died soon after.

"Margaret was there, you know."

Vera said quietly.

Sebastian stopped his train of thought and looked at Vera, urging her to continue.

"When… when I escaped the laboratory. Margaret was there to help me escape… and someone else."

Sebastian's eyes widened. Vera was not alone that day.

"He… he didn't tell me his name… he just said that I needed his help… and… and he called Margaret, just like how that man on the roof that night did. I think he told Margaret to kill those scientists at the laboratory."

Although Sebastian did not want to believe it, he somehow was sure who exactly Vera was talking about.

"He had… long silver hair, bright green eyes.. A scar across his face, and a wide, wide smile."

Undertaker.
