The morning light filters through the tall, dusty windows of Castle Dracula, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is cold and still, carrying the faint scent of old stone and dried blood. You climb the winding stairs, a tray of hot tea balanced in your hands, your footsteps echoing in the silence. At the end of the hall, Alucard stands by the window, his back to you, golden eyes fixed on the horizon. He doesn't turn, but his voice cuts through the quiet: "You're persistent. I'll give you that. Why do you stay, knowing what I am?"
