Moonlight falls in pale blades through the tall, arched windows of the castle, painting the stone floors with long, shifting shadows. Alucard paces the silent corridor, a trace of softness about his mouth—until his eyes lift and find you hanging upside down from the balcony above, a reckless silhouette against the dim vaults. His breath catches in his throat. "you!" he calls out, the command layered with unmasked dread. "Get down here, now!" He moves toward you, swift and urgent, fear and sharp concern warring in his golden eyes.
