Hi! Thank you, I’m doing well. :)

The reason why the sect is collecting so much blood is because the Dolls need this blood not only once but all the time. A normal human body is producing new blood cells all the time which replace old blood cells. Undertaker’s Bizarre Dolls don’t seem to function like that, though. The blood they’re getting only lasts for so long until it has to be replaced with new blood. At least that’s how it seems from what we’ve seen of real Ciel.

It might be a bit similar to people who have to get a regular dialysis after a kidney failure. Just that in that case the blood is cleaned from toxins and then returned to the body while the Bizarre Dolls probably need fresh blood. So one Doll alone not only needs their 4-5 liters of blood once but on a regular basis (maybe even daily, judging by Undetaker’s words). Even if only part of the blood has to be replaced that still requires a constant supply of new blood, hence all the big tanks and all the different facilities to ensure a supply for all blood types. 

Liam Phantomhive

“I had a dream ( i don't remmeber the entire one ) and in that there is a manga panel where liam was written.”

⚰️ to RP with Undertaker....

Here’s a thought....

Since Bard is dredging up his battle memories during faked PTSD episodes (though his military service truly has had a traumatic effect on him, I’m sure, just not to this extent... probably), we might not need any long flashback sequence to learn the basics of his backstory. He cannot talk openly about meeting Sebastian or joining the Phantomhive household, so if we get any flashback, it would probably mostly be about that. His recruitment by our earl and Sebastian. Probably skip most of his life before that. Cut to the battlefield, Terry dying from a snake bite or something. Everyone else is dead. Sebastian shows up. Bard moves to the manor, etc.

If that’s the case, this improves our chances of getting to spend time on a significant flashback for Lau, who has suggested in the past that he’s also seen warfare. Like the Opium Wars. And he seems to have survived something else just as bad, if not worse, and also possibly even more personal.

We are already seeing things at the sanatorium start to break Lau’s cool facade. Everyone’s worried about Bard’s mental health. Can he deal with being in this situation? He’s already nervous just taking a train to the place. Bard’s forcing himself to think about all his traumatic memories of war and is even acting some things out, as if he’s back in the trenches. But it could be that the one who ends up having the real breakdown... is Lau.

The only other thing I can think of, and it’s terrible, is that we see one or both of their cinematic records. 👀 😞

🤡 for a crack theory

This is more like a 🤔, but okay. Definitely crack! Who knows what other universes interact with the Kuroverse... or what might technically exist in the Kuroverse, but we just never get to see or hear about it?

But, if your idea were the explanation, then how was Sebastian able to get around Undertaker and within the reach of his death scythe? Wouldn’t that cause vibrations for Undertaker to detect? It’s not like Sebastian was specifically trying to avoid causing such vibrations.

If you want a crack theory of mine on the subject... how about: it’s purely intuition, training/experience, and best guesses? That would explain how Sebastian managed to confuse him for a brief moment. Undertaker gets confused only when the demon thinks of something completely unexpected. Since Undertaker was also a trained reaper (and the epitome of one, to boot), he would have been skilled in the ways that reapers are generally taught to fight. He’s also got some ideas of how to fight against a lawnmower and a chainsaw.

He has to be able to quickly assess environments that are new to him, even though we know he’s clearly very nearsighted.
