011. The Butler, Retrospective

The Butler, Retrospective (その執事、追想, Sono Shitsuji, Tsuisō) is Chapter 11 of the Kuroshitsuji manga.
==Summary==
Angelina recalls the past, where she saw Phantomhive Manor, home to the people she loved most, caught on fire. She later learned that the entire family was murdered, the house was ruined by the fire, and Ciel's body was never found. She was crushed by the news, but all the same, envious of her sister because she died with the person she loved, while Angelina had to carry on living.
Angelina returned to work shortly after the incident, where she was faced with an increasing number of requests to perform abortions on prostitutes. She came to despise her patients, who were willing to throw away something she could never have. She wondered what she had done wrong to make life so cruel to her.
She is later seen following one of her patients, who she then murdered in cold blood, saying that, because they did not want it, she would take their womb, life, and happiness from them. After one of these murders, she is approached by a Grim Reaper "covered in red." Grelle states that, because of her, her death list is filled to the brim. She tells her she understands her feelings, as she cannot have a child either, and offer to assist her. She cuts her hair, which was stained red with the victim's blood, and apparently, took up on Grelle's offer.
One month after she began the killings, Ciel returned to Phantomhive Manor alive with his new butler, Sebastian. She asked what happened while he was gone, but he never shared. She states that she was okay with this since his return was enough. However, she questions why "that person", referring to Vincent Phantomhive, did not come back and why she cannot be with him. She states that Ciel took over his father's job, and came to hunt down Jack the Ripper. Because he looks so much like Rachel Phantomhive, Angelina questions what else does her sister want to "take" from her.
In the present, Angelina falls while Grelle slashes her with her Death Scythe. Grelle states that she is angry with her because she got carried away by her emotions, while she went through so much to help her with these murders. She takes her red coat, and says that she is not "fit to wear red."
Sebastian watches her leave until Ciel orders him to take down Jack the Ripper. Grelle laughs and says she will send them all to heaven, while Sebastian states that he is "not fated to go there." Throughout the fight, Sebastian intentionally aims for Grelle's face.
Grelle pauses for a moment and asks if Sebastian is scared, but he says of course not, because, at the moment, even his life belongs to Ciel. And if Ciel does not want him to lose, then he will not.
They resume fighting, and Grelle states that her relationship with Sebastian is like the "tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet." She then asks Sebastian to throw away the name given to him by Ciel, but Sebastian says that, from the moment Ciel addressed him as Sebastian, the contract was formed, and that became his name. He states that he "vowed as much to the moon," which Grelle calls the mark of a dishonest man.
She then states, much to Sebastian's disgust, that she would definitely give birth to Sebastian's child if she could. She moves to attack, which Sebastian halts by stepping on Grelle's Death Scythe, and states that he cannot continue fighting and moves again. Grelle then slams her head against Sebastian, knocking him back, before she cuts him all across his chest with her Death Scythe.
