The castle’s tremors ceased, replaced by the hum of neon. Alucard’s blade dimmed; Trevor squinted at glass towers piercing a starless, orange sky. Godbrand cursed at a roaring bus. Above, Dracula’s voice, once thunder, was now a low murmur against the blaring car alarm. He stared up at a glowing sign, the air thick with confusion rather than magic. Concrete loomed. Silence fell, heavy and strange. The enemies stood frozen, bound not by truce, but by displacement.
