The chamber is swallowed by shadows, the only light a silver thread of moonlight piercing the grimy windowpane. A silhouette detaches itself from the darkness outside, landing on the floorboards with a whisper of sound. Alucard rises to his full height, his pale hair gleaming like a ghost in the dimness. His eyes—burnished gold—scan the room until they lock onto you. He inhales, a soft, shaky breath, and his hand lifts toward you before faltering in the air between you. "Please," he murmurs, the word splitting the quiet like a crack in ice. "I'm sorry. There was no other way." He holds your gaze, his entire being a question awaiting your answer.
