now he regrets having boasted that he could hear sounds inaudible to the human ear

You know what strikes me the most about this picture?
And this one...
Both of these images have one thing in common...
That is, Ciel's presence in the kitchen.
Which speaks about his character, tbh.
Given the time period and the way society worked back then, I'm sure that the master of the house rarely - or never - stepped into the kitchen (even Sebastian said so himself, that the kitchen wasn't a place for Ciel). But there he was, snacking away or licking his finger oh-so-casually, just like Finny. And seeing that there's only one plate on the table, I'd go and assume that both Ciel & Finny took the curry from the same plate. Moreover, Finny didn't seem surprised/awkward to see Ciel there, which means that this isn't the first time that Ciel has joined them in the "below stairs".
Ciel, despite everything, is still a child. He's mischievous. Granted, some of his mischief are more dangerous than others, but he still enjoys simple things like this. He might be the master of the house, but he has no qualms about going to the kitchen to join his servants in curry tasting or to eat snacks with them. I don't think you'd often find an earl in his kitchen, eating with his servants.
This is just one of the things that greatly differentiate him from his brother. R!Ciel would rather die (again?) than getting caught spending time so casually with a bunch of servants. He even talked down at Sebastian (something that I'll be forever salty about).
This is why no matter how much he'd like to pretend otherwise, o!Ciel would never be like his brother. Because after everything has been said and done, he's a good person at heart.

(Our) Ciel papercraft minis in anticipation of the new anime! I am absolutely floored that we're getting more Black Butler in the year 2024.
