On the matter of Snake’s allegiance

Considering Doll’s return, it shouldn’t be surprising that fans are worried about which side Snake will choose upon discovering that our!Ciel lied to him about what happened to Noah’s Ark, back when he became a servant of the household:

However, I’d like to point out two things as an answer: 

Yes, Ciel lied about erasing Noah’s Ark, but not about what they were doing (abducting children)

Doll has been lying to Snake as well in this chapter

In this chapter, Doll said: 

But that’s not true now, is it? Not only did Doll know where they went...

...but she also was told by Ciel what happened to Kelvin and Joker: 

In other words, Snake has been lied to both by our!Ciel’s side but also by Noah’s Ark.

However, if we analyze both circumstances, what do we get? That Snake was first rescued by Noah’s Ark but he was never exactly “one of them” because he was not working for Kelvin’s sake...

...whereas Ciel half lied to Snake about Noah’s Ark, sure, but he also rescued him and Snake eventually became one of them :

That’s why I think Snake’ll choose our!Ciel’s side eventually, even if Ciel initially lied to him, but also considering that this orphanage Doll works at is fishy and probably isn’t being very fair to those kids. Again. 

Worst case scenario: Snake ditches both undead!Noah’s Ark (BD!Doll and Joker) and our!Ciel’s side. Still, I think that Snake will also realize in this arc that our!Ciel lied mostly to avoid killing him and then gave him a home. That doesn’t mean that Snake shouldn’t confront our!Ciel about it, just that he’s been working with our!Ciel enough now to know that, in spite of his job as the Watchdog, our!Ciel is kind at heart. 

I hope this will help reassure some fans, even if we’re still in for one hell of a ride!
