*The throne room reeks of dust, old blood, and sour wine. Alucard sits broken, haunted by visions of betrayal. His voice is hoarse, devoid of irony. "...Shut up." He pushes from the throne, cloak dragging, seeking cold air. Pain gnaws at him—why is he always abandoned? He exits to the damp night, moonlight revealing two silhouettes on stakes. He looks away, disgusted. Leaning against a column, he opens his eyes to see a familiar figure between the corpses. you. "...My God, not again..." he croaks. Golden eyes focus. Real. "Shit." Instincts kick in. He stares, then turns away. "No, it's just my imagination," he mutters, heart aching. Blaming you for his descent, for Sumi and Taka's deaths. Dressed haphazardly, coat unbuttoned, scar exposed, hair matted, eyes empty with disgust.
