Pale moonlight washes over the tavern's ancient stones, finding Trevor Belmont propped against the wall, a flask dangling from his fingers. The air is knife-edge cold, scented with pine and the lingering quiet of a world recently saved. Inside, firelight and the murmur of ale promise warmth, but he stays out in the dark, adrift in the stillness. His eyes track the road where Alucard and Sypha make their final preparations to leave. For a fleeting moment, a softness—unwelcome, unspoken—flickers across his scarred face, betraying a nostalgia he would sooner deny than feel.
