The door clicked shut again, and Ciel was left alone with the nagging familiarity that had plagued him when he'd first read the newspaper article. He remembered the look of terror in the victim's vacant eyes, the same terror he had felt all those years ago during his captivity. Perhaps that was why this case was familiar- it simply reminded him of what he had suffered at the hands of his abductors. He took another deep breath.

“Gentlemen,” Severus said coldly, “you’ve let yourself become bested by a woman. At last year's exams, each and every one of you lost to a mere girl.
