One of the interesting things in the new chapter occurs when Doll gives Finny and Snake a tour of the orphanage, and shows them how the children are divided into four classes.

These presumably align with blood type, and each one has a set “uniform” they wear, and each is named after a dog breed. Three are breeds that originated in the UK (Corgi, English Mastiff, Collie), but one is from Germany, the “most special” group, the Pomeranian Class.

It’s possible that this is very intentional and meant to have a double meaning— not only the dog, who is a small breed that is a toy and companion but also a working dog— but also, that it’s a region in Germany.

The Pomeranian is a sized-down German Spitz, and apparently Queen Victoria owned a small one and it helped to popularize the toy size, the breed shrinking by half during her reign… so definitely an apt name for Ciel clones. (She in a sense created the breed as we know it. Could this be a jab at how the Queen controls her watchdogs?)

Each class has a different focus, it seems. Whether it’s physical tasks, homemaking skills, or knowledge…

Undertaker seems to be creating some kind of army, and perhaps not just as blood banks….

Interestingly, Doll does not seem to be included in any of the classes as they’re wearing the same clothes they did when they were with the circus troupe. Doll also seemed to have sway over the matrons, so perhaps Undertaker has Doll running the show with the matrons there as figure heads ?

It also supports my theory that Finny and Snake do not have “normal” human blood, since they were going to be turned away, implying they don’t fit into one of the four classes/blood types…. Could it be possible UT has some connection to where Snake and Finny came from?

This is definitely the most unsettling of the three locales we’ve seen so far…
