Ok, about Ciel... this is something I saw tossed around in recaps as a joke but I was wondering maybe it could work.

What if Ciel is a robot in the same vein of Penny?

Penny said she was the first synthetic person capable of generating an aura... but what if they lied to her? Or she is not the only one?

Penny is kind of naive and lacks social experience, so I don't think lying to her would be very hard.

It sounded to me like Penny's built was her "father" project and the military stood in half way into it and took over or provided funding in exchange of getting a say in Penny's upbringing.

I mean, we always see Penny surrounded by some form of military personnel, and her father has only been mentioned like once but there are no signs he traveled with her to Vale.

So, what if Atlas was already working on the idea of an aura producing bot, but couldn't quite figure it out. Then Penny's father pops up/is discovered with his personal project but needs founding/Atlas decides it's dangerous and warrants intervention; and they take over, and use Penny to perfect their prototype.

They put Penny and Ciel together and tell each other the other is human to test if they can tell the other is a fellow robot.
