Spoilers for Act 34.
Rosencreutz is about manufacturing monsters after all...

It’s only after the fact that he can admit the he does actually miss the scent of stale smoke filling up the room almost challengingly. That he can final say, in the privacy of his own mind, that those arrogant eyes and mocking mouth are missed.

Of course it all went wrong, it was after all; meant to.

It was almost impossible for the boy not to overreach himself and thus invariably fail. It was beginning to become something of a trademark of his really. Fail, fall and fail again. Utterly useless, unless employed under the right circumstance.

So it really had been a pity when he’d had to lose something quite admirably entertaining to simply prove a point. Such a shame. Especially when such a thing was always so hard to replace. Monstrosity was naturally manufactured after all and no amount of sticking the boy in a broiler would artificially engineer it. Such a terrible loss really, it was almost enough to move the artisan in him to weep.

But punishment was of course due. In that he could gain some scant satisfaction.
And in the meantime, he could smoke absently abandoned cigarettes, dreaming of putting out Dietrich’s eye.

I would have to go through the synopsis and find the specific failure referred to in this story. I presume this is Isaak and that he is thinking about Dietrich's defection after the Pope's assassination?

This moment was quite chilling:

"Monstrosity was naturally manufactured after all and no amount of sticking the boy in a broiler would artificially engineer it. Such a terrible loss really, it was almost enough to move the artisan in him to weep."

Another thought-provoking and provocative read!

Its post-Empire arc so he’s just fixating on the fiasco that turned out to be, with allusion to the events to come here (http://bbs.ikunlun.net/?action=show_topic&topic_id=83025&forum_id=7&class_id=0).
Isaak really is getting fantastically creepier each time I write him. He plays requiems for the dead and throws Nietzsche at people while all the time being faintly bemused by the entire affair.
Glad you liked this.

I wasn't able to find the Trinity Blood link on that site, although it was interesting to see how many raw manga were available for admiration.

Requiems and Nietzsche! Now there's irony and contradiction.

The scans for Act 34 are just in the first post there though the RCO events are in the second half. I can upload a zip file if they’re not showing up for you.

I have a less than serious theory that he’s so bemused and uncaring about everything as a result of smoking so much. Though I’m founding that theory on the fact that the cigarillos I smoke really do have quite the useful effect of relaxing me an awful lot more than regular cigarettes. The more serious theory being that he’s entirely insane and more so than the rest of the Orden.
