[There's a long lapse in time between the asking and the answer. He doesn't particularly want to talk about the terms of his demonic contract with an outsider.
The thought of him being free leaves a bitter taste in his mouth because he knows, without a doubt, Sebastian will never die and never die completely, and, thus, he will never be free.]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org That's none of your concern.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org What you think you know about me just from possibly reading Sebastian's file or conversing with him, you don't know anything.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org There is something more important to me than freedom from a choice I made myself.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org Repenting means you regret the choices you made. That you are a coward.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org My question still stands. Do you actually believe it possible to earn forgiveness for saving your world by destroying others?

Would you be free if he did fail?

FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
That's none of your concern.
no subject
I suppose it isn't.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
But it's a thought worth entertaining, don't you think?
no subject
Entertaining that thought is a waste.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Sebastian will never fail.
[But it is an interesting one nonetheless....]
no subject
He's the only one you rely on. If he does fail, you'll be without much hope, will you?
no subject
But there's the rub. Revenge is very important to him.]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I thought I said not to underestimate my butler. It's a mistake to underestimate me, too. We won't fail.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I won't allow it until my job is finished.
no subject
A job, is it?
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
I'm not underestimating you. I'm helping you broaden that narrow mind of yours.
no subject
What you think you know about me just from possibly reading Sebastian's file or conversing with him, you don't know anything.

There is something more important to me than freedom from a choice I made myself.
the baby is ciel
Let me guess.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
Revenge?
GET OUT. OBITO WHY ARE YOU EVEN HOLDING A BABY THAT'S DANGEROUS
Justice.
[It's revenge.]
THEN STOP BEING A BABY
It's a bit typical.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
Revenge consumes you until there's nothing left.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
I've seen this happen many times before.
NO HE IS A BABY
If this is your attempt at concern, it's unwanted.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
There is no turning back.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I won't fail.
no subject
I won't waste my concern on an already dead man. Your fate won't be easily reversed, if it can be at all.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
Your confidence does nothing for you but cement the walls restraining your way of thinking.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
You don't have as much control here as you would like to have. Keep that in mind.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
You won't get your revenge so long as the CDC has both you and your servant.
no subject
I'VE REALIZED THAT ALREADY
[After some time:]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
It's of little matter. We'll find a way to go back.
no subject
Do you mean your butler will find a way?
no subject
Don't be ridiculous.
[Like he's going to give Sebastian that much credit........]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I'll find a way.
no subject
You think you can outsmart the people who coerced you into coming here in the first place? That's impressive.
no subject
There's a loophole somewhere. They didn't even have us sign anything.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Never trust verbal agreements.
no subject
You think they abide by your idea of law?
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
If you'd done your research, you'd have seen that someone already tried to find that loophole you're talking about already.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
It didn't work.
no subject
Irrelevant. That was them. I'm sure plenty more have tried in the past and failed.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Are you content enough already to sit back and not even try?
no subject
It is relevant, because it proves that there are no loopholes. Rules don't restrain the CDC.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
You'll only discover how powerless you are in the process. You'll put a target on that big head of yours.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
I'm a dead man. I'm here only to repent for what I've done, nothing more. My goal isn't to return to my world.
no subject
Do you really think you can repent by destroying other worlds?
no subject
No.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
I'm repenting by ensuring my planet stays untouched.
no subject
Repenting means you regret the choices you made. That you are a coward.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
My question still stands. Do you actually believe it possible to earn forgiveness for saving your world by destroying others?
no subject
It isn't forgiveness I'm looking for.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
It is simply the right thing to do. I look out for my own before anything else. Nothing more, nothing less.
FROM: uchiha.obito@cdc.org
It is unfortunate anyone has to die at all, but that is reality.
