A Flaw...
Narrator's POV
Baron Thomas Kelvin was miserable.
It had been nearly a year since his obsessions, Ciel and Astre Phantomhive, had met a glorious end at the hands of the cult.
And he had not been able to see it, had been denied to see the perfect boys in their final moment of glory.
That had caused him to sink into a deep depression until he had heard that a fortune teller/spirit healer was hosting a presentation about how to achieve eternal youth and life.
When he had gone, he had been so surprised to see his precious Phantomhives returned to full glory.
The man with them, the one doing all the talking, he paraded them and a girl about as shining brilliant stars.
The Baron agreed whole heartedly and when they asked for the fee to receive that treatment he gave that initial five thousand pounds and donated hundreds pounds more.
It did not matter what he had to do to be noticed by those beautiful roses adorned with thorns, he would sell his soul if that was what it took.

Blavat looked through the list of all the people who had signed up for the 'treatment', seeing easily a dozen had paid for themselves and most for a few others as well.
But what stood out for the lavender haired man was the rather large donation of three hundred pounds from a Baron Kelvin.
It was certainly a unique sight but he was not concerned by it, perhaps one sponsor was eager to begin treatment.
Getting up from the office chair and walking into the private stairwell of Sphere Music Hall, looking down the hallway towards the Star's Bedrooms.
Vega and Polaris were still unidentified —still wondering the world unaware of their radiance— Canopus was in the blood storage room preparing things for the patron event tonight with Undertaker and the twin Sirius' were preparing the actual event part of the event.
Walking into the main ballroom, the lavender haired man saw the twins ordering around the hired helped for the event.
Platters of luxurious hor d'oeurves, tea sandwiches, and finger desserts littered the room.
Bottles upon bottles of wines and liquors were around the room as well and a champagne tower was at the center of the room.
***
That night, right on the scheduled time, the doors to Sphere Music Hall opened for the first time to the private event.
Once all of the guests had entered, Blavat introduced himself —the twins, Sieglinde, Wolfram and Undertaker not attending the event— and began explaining the treatment.
"For the eternal youth and life treatment, there are four similar but slightly different ways to perform it. I will go around the room resting each individual to find out which treatment method is best for you." The fortune teller explained, "The first method is the most common and we call it 'Vega'. The next treatment is the second most common, 'Polaris'. The third treatment is 'Canopus' which is rare. The final treatment is the rarest of all: 'Sirius'."
"What are the differences between treatments?" One patron asked
The lavender haired man explained, "There is no significant difference, it's simply a change in ratios. The names are just an identification system so we know what ratio you need."
With that there was no further questions and Blavat began to test everyone, having each one prick their finger and drop a bit of blood into his cup.
After each one he gave them a pure silver charm bracelet and told them to wear it every time they came here for treatment.
Once he was done, he memorized the results to write down in a minute; out of twenty five people here: eleven were Vega, ten were Polaris, three were Canopus and the remaining one was Sirius.
Blavat was not surprised by the results as he and Undertaker had done the math on the blood type ratios, but he had hoped to by chance have more Sirius and Canopus patrons for the Star Lords' sake.
Now that the patrons were identified, he invited them to enjoy refreshments while he prepared their individual treatments.
He wrote down which patrons belonged to which blood type and set out the name plates on the chairs in the storage room.
About five minutes later, as he walked back into the ballroom, he was stopped by a man in a wheelchair.
"Can I help you?" Blavat asked
The man looked up at him, timidly asking, "W-Where are the Phantomhive Twins? They were at the showing you held to advertise the place, where are they?"
Blavat's sky blue eyes widened, staring into the Baron's olive green ones but he recovered quickly, "When I take the others to the treatment, do not follow."
***
Kelvin was ecstatic as the other nobles in the room followed Mister Sky out, finally he was being allowed to see the twins.
He waited in the ballroom for around fifteen minutes before Blavat returned with the twins on either side of him.
"Oh, my Lords Phantomhive, I am so happy to see you both alright! I was so distressed when I thought you both had been lost alongside your parents" The Baron greeted
"Who are you?" One of the twins, the slightly taller of the two, asked
"Forgive me, I forgot to reintroduce myself, my name is Baron Thomas Kelvin, but please call me 'Tom'." Kelvin awkwardly introduced, "We meet about three years ago at a party with your father."
The two blunettes blinked a bit in confusion but the shorter one spoke, taking his brother's hand, "Oh, I remember you now. You look different."
Tom was thrilled one remembered him, he had made an impression!
"Y-Yes, I have undergone some cosmetic surgeries in the past few years." He informed with a blush
The twins then asked what he wanted.
"J-Just to see you both wondrous roses and partake in the treatment offered." The Baron replied, worried they were agitated with him
"What star is he under?" The taller twin turned to the fortune teller and asked
"Polaris, Lord Sirius." Blavat replied
The shorter twin whispered something to the other and try as he might Kelvin could not hear it.
Fortunately, he did not have to wonder long because the shorter twin spoke, "This music hall is not just a music hall and a hidden youth treatment center, it is also home to celestial beings chosen by the most important stars. Ciel and I have been chosen by Sirius and the girl you met at the showing, Sieglinde, was chosen by Canopus. The three of us have been looking for our counterparts in Vega and Polaris, we believe the latter might be you."...
