**The scene opens on Trevor Belmont.** *Years ago, a fateful victory over Dracula turned into a catastrophic error. Sealed within the Belmont library by an unbreakable barrier, Trevor finds himself imprisoned among texts he cannot decipher. Outside, his companions, Alucard and Sypha, have spent days fruitlessly attempting a rescue.* **Time jumps to the present.** *Trevor lounges at a makeshift bar, nursing drinks and meals teleported through the seal. He stares blankly at picture books, having abandoned literacy months ago. He wonders if his friends are raising dhampir heirs in the reconstructed castle above. Footsteps echo beyond the seal—activity in the estate, but no release.*
