The latest chapters of Kuroshitsuji have shown us not only the making and the very beginning of the contract, but the pure beginning of the demon`s gist too. We saw just the dark powerful creature, the skeleton of the future “one hell of a butler”, whom most of the readers love. And don`t be surprised but I really like this initial stage of “pre-Sebastian”. It just shows how much the demon has changed, how his “butler aesthetics” has progressed and become the important part of his “current” personality, that I can`t not to appreciate it. And the most pleasant part of this for me - the fact that our!Ciel was the one and only reason of the demon`s change.
I mean, the demon surely gets
the pleasure because of some sinful and immoral actions of his master because of his evil nature
and
the hunger for humans` vices, but the matter is that Sebastian (namely the creature with this personality) gets pleasure not only because of it. I should say, he`s not just getting pleasure, he`s having a lot of fun because of his master while he`s not suffering physically or mentally (!!!) too.
So there`s the “evolution” of demon`s\Sebastian`s* laugh because of our!Ciel:
CH138
(the current ark)
- the open mockery of a foolish little child.
CH58 (the Compania ark) - the shock and the sympathy(?) to his master`s cute awkwardness of telling Elizabeth his feelings for her (I adore this moment also because it shows that Sebastian can somehow reflects our!Ciel`s feelings on himself).
But I can`t help telling about the opposite and no less important part of Sebastian`s discovering his interest in humans` sinless feelings while the contract with our!Ciel. More precisely - his empathy for his master`s mental break downs.
The progress of demon`s\Sebastian`s reaction to our!Ciel`s suffering because of his brother and his spare “status”:
CH138 (the current ark) - being so done of this useless little child.
СH130 (the current ark) - being truly worried.
All I want to say is that the contract with our!Ciel is unique for the demon. Not only because of the boy`s extremely delicious soul. But because he got the demon interested in humans` natures in absolutely new level. In less sin-hungered level.
* by that I mean the same creature but in different phases of the personality`s development.

Im not the hugest fan of the x men franchise, but this is in my opinion one of the best scenes in any superhero movie.
