The mysterious character who claims to know Sebastian is calling himself "Modri Vladis" in the new chapter.

It's been suspected that this person could know Sebastian as a demon from once having a contract with him. The tattoo on his neck might be a remnant of a contract sign. However, Sebastian denies to remember him, even to Ciel who he cannot lie to.

But does that truly exclude the possibility of Modri Vladis being one of Sebastian's former contractors?

Modri Vladis seems to remember an encounter with Sebastian for one night which could imply that there had been a very short-timed contract that ended in Sebastian taking Vladis' soul.

Vladis is first shown being connected to an infusion stand so it's likely he's one of Undertaker's more advanced Bizarre Dolls who depends on regular blood transfusions. So if Vladis' body was okay after dying or having his soul being devoured, there is a chance that he could have been made into a Bizarre Doll.

Sebastian claims he doesn't remember him but that does not necessarily mean that they've never met. Maybe with his soul missing, Sebastian truly doesn't "remember" him (like he says). Maybe a contractor is really so insignificant to a demon that they simply forget them after the contract. A human is just a meal to them, especially if that contract only lasted for one night. Who remembers what they ate years ago? Or maybe Sebastian's current form only stores the memories of his current contract. (When Undertaker cut him with his death scythe, he only saw the memories of the time from the contract with Ciel, at least to our knowledge.)

There might also be another possibility. Maybe this idea is a bit far-fetched but bear with me for a bit. ;)

Bizarre Dolls are created by extending their Cinematic Record which stores their memories. Undertaker first started by adding fake records and later added the person's yearning for the future which evolved the Dolls. What if another evolution to this process is to add memories of another person to a Doll's Cinematic Record?

The hotel's manager mentioned the smoking room as a place to share stories of the past and the future, which struck me as a curious detail.

Maybe this hotel is not just a place to gather blood but to collect the memories (i.e. Cinematic Records) for Undertaker to use for his more advanced Bizarre Dolls. In that case, Modri Vladis might have a different body with just the memories of Vladis. And maybe that's why Sebastian doesn't remember him from his looks.

The reason I've been thinking this is the way that Vladis tries to make Sebastian remember him. He cuts into his wrist and draws his own blood.

It seems like a strange way to make someone remember him. It could be that Vladis' blood was involved in once summoning Sebastian (similar to how the cultists who captured the twins tried to summon a demon by killing children). However, I couldn't help but be reminded that when a shinigami cuts someone with their death scythe, their Cinematic Record is shown. So maybe Vladis was trying to make his memories with Sebastian visible through showing his Cinematic Record?

That didn't happen, though, the knife doesn't look like a death scythe and I'm not sure if someone who isn't a shinigami could even use a death scythe in that way.

Still, whether Vladis is fake or not, Vladis himself seems quite convinced to know Sebastian. And despite Sebastian not remembering him, it seems like he's not absolutely sure that they never met.

SPOILERS

Reading this is like a kick in the back.

Alone the title, or side title sounds to me that this person must be a big part of Sebastian's past.

However it seems to me that Sebastian left an big impact on him.

This scene...

It's so emotional. The man Modri is desperate and broken because Sebastian seems to lie about the fact, he has forgotten him.

I am not sure if he was a Priest and Exorcist or something else. His clothes however are amazingly detailed and seem to me ritualistic. But aside from this Modri has fangs. Very angry and obvious fangs.

And I believe that Sebastian doesn't remember because of two things.

First. He is very protective as he shields Ciel. Could be routine. But... He is very nervous and looks as if he wanted nothing more than to pick Ciel up and ran away with him. Again. His feelings are aware about that something is off.

The whole situation is so surreal. But one thing is sure. He isn't human and not really alive.

It sounds really as if Ciel isn't really far from the truth. Either Sebastian took his soul but not for a meal but a payment. Because the wording reminds me a lot like the movie title drag me to hell.

Whoever he may be. He isn't there by coincidence. No. It also wouldn't be surprising if this is a doll.

Because everything sounds fucking perfect to make Ciel insecure.

We know for sure. Sebastian CAN'T lie to Ciel. And he tells him very clearly he doesn't remember him. He probably has a lot of humans in his past who would love to kill him. As a demon he misguided a lot of humans. But no.

I believe that this is another one of Undertakers people, who has only one job.

Shake up the trust between Sebastian and Ciel.

Next chapter is probably about Ciel sitting alone in the dubious smoking room, where he listens to some lies, about how Modri got betrayed by someone.

Spreading mistrust.

And maybe it ends with Ciel seeing Sebastian killing that man or someone who told him lies. What makes Sebastian looking even more like a liar.

So we get to the part where Sebastian needs Ciel to believe and stay to him. Because if that's really about breaking their trust and bond, it will weaken their contract and by the tiniest chance of a breach of the contract, it can be broken and that's is what Undertaker wants.
