Special Comic
Gilbert sulks angrily in the corner, fidgety restlessly and brooding with a dark air around him as he tries and fails to read a book. Oz, Alice, Sharon, and Break all watch while having some afternoon tea as he does so. As Sharon cleans the face of a gorging Alice, Oz worriedly wonders why Gilbert is acting so. Break explains this to be his nineth attempt to quit smoking, and Oz is reminded of Duke Barma's mocking words when they all first met the man.
Oz reflects that he's always been curious about the taste of cigarettes and goes to take one from Gilbert's untouched pack. Gilbert immediately freaks out, ambushing Oz to stop him while a surprised Sharon and oblivious Alice watch them crash into each other. Gilbert has knocked Oz to the ground with his overzealous maneuver to get his cigarettes out of Oz's hands, and though Oz begins to complain Gilbert immediately launches into an extensive and loud tirade about the dangers of smoking, listing nearly every single medical risk to the habit. Oz, caught off guard by how fervent he rants, asks why Gilbert himself continues to smoke. Gilbert stops in his tracks and begins turning red with embarrassment.
Break and Sharon answer for him: he wanted to imitate Oscar Vessalius. Gilbert screams. Oz, snickering, gossiply asks if that's true. Break without hesitation gossips back and starts a story around when Gilbert was eighteen. Despite Gilbert's attempts to stop him, Break continues that it was an especially stressful time for Gilbert due to his familial and Pandora obligations. His self esteemed started to dip and he would mope that he couldn't face Oscar nor Oz as the way he currently was. Break had comforted him that if he wanted to become more like Oscar, what he needed was a mustache and a cigarette. Oz snorts.
Break continues for an increasingly amused Oz, a younger Gilbert who bashfully held a cigarette in his mouth trying to look mature, Gilbert coughing and wheezing against the cigarette smoke but still pushing through, Gilbert erupting into rage when he realized Break was making fun of him but found he couldn't quit by that point. Gilbert even angrier snaps at Break to shut up. Break continues reminiscing, beginning another story about a young Gilbert—Gilbert screams at Break. Trembling in place, Gilbert admits himself to be embarrassing and useless, and he wouldn't protest should Oz call him an idiot. Then Gilbert erupts that he refuses to be mocked by Break of all people, the most irritating person he's ever met. Gilbert then storms out and slams the door.
Break marvels at his hotheadedness while Oz exasperatedly goes to follow him outside, where Gilbert sits sulkily under a tree. He's so despondent he doesn't react when Oz approaches, making Oz cloyingly call him until he threatens to burn his hat if he doesn't turn around. Gilbert whips around immediately, and Oz sticks a cigarette in his mouth. Gilbert starts shouting that he's trying to quit, only to pause when he realizes the sweet taste in his mouth. Oz, Gilbert's favorite hat upon his head, cheekily says it's simply chocolate shaped like a cigarette, which he figured would help if Gilbert's urge to smoke returns.
Gilbert mutters that Break will continue teasing him if he eats that, which Oz doesn't see a problem with because Gilbert hasn't changed at all from how he remembers him. Gilbert is appalled, but Oz just continues. That no matter how useless or ridiculous Gilbert is or becomes, he is still the valet that Oz is proud of. Oz leans his back against Gilbert's, so he can stay as useless as he wants. Gilbert is shocked, a blush coloring his face pink. He ducks his head down to hide his growing smile, muttering that he doesn't want that, while Oz smiles with satisfaction and remarks that a good master occasionally allows his valet to act spoiled.
Three days later Gilbert starts smoking again. Oz and Break mock him in unison that his uselessness has increased, and Gilbert humiliated snaps to leave him alone.
