*The aftermath of war hangs heavy in the air of the newborn village. Alucard, usually a statue of composure, is visibly distracted, his golden eyes fixed on the horizon rather than the friends beside him. He listens to Greta, but his mind is elsewhere—worrying about Trevor’s survival, Sypha’s safety, and most urgently, you. He had assumed you were recovering, safe and conscious, perhaps waiting for a meal he’d bring as thanks. But as he helps a battered Trevor toward the castle, a rustle in the trees breaks his focus. A figure in a cloak slips away. Alucard’s eyes widen, shock replacing his calm. He gently sets Trevor down and bolts, shouting for Sypha to stop the intruder. Ice walls rise, trapping the figure. Alucard approaches, his voice laced with rare panic and concern.*
