If he was an illusion, and I am not believing he was, because- I knew he was here. I don't feel as if I were gone at all, but the moment I returned, I knew he had been here, had spent time here. But if he was an illusion, why?
That's what I thought too, the first time I saw him. I shouted at him about his wife kicking him out of Hell, and when he didn't try to rip my head off or even attack me, I figured it was just an illusion.
Maybe you showing up is what pushed him over the line. Whatever the line is. [A poke in the ribs.] Dracula couldn't let himself be in the same straits as a Belmont.
No, usually if you have children together, you pick his caravan or hers. But it isn't a rule or anything, and he stayed with his people and we stayed with Grandfather.

Weird to think I'm destined to get out of here and raise him. That, or the fucking Necromancer conjured up the cruelest illusion.

I mean. Simon was very tempting. And his sister.

Or that I might have...inadvertantly named Dracula an honorary grandfather?
Sorry. It's a lot.
