I just finished watching Castlevania. Well...part of it, anyway, but that's context for a different post. I'm probably going to line up a few posts on this topic. For now, I'd like to begin at the end.
Endings are a tricky thing. They mean different things to different people. It can be tragedy. Closure. Celebration. Or, in the case of this show...all of the above, in the most unexpectedly beautiful, breathtaking ways.
HECTOR & LENORE
The final episode opens with Hector and Lenore, two characters about whose relationship I've been fairly skeptical. I have...a lot of thoughts about Season 3, absolutely none of them positive. But Season 4 gives us a quiet conversation where these two actually take the time to talk through their mistakes - acknowledging the hurt, and discussing their plans for the future.
A future that Lenore can't enter by Hector's side. Sometimes love isn't enough: not when you don't fit in this world anymore. Not when the two of you weren't meant to be together - not like this. Not forever.
There's something inherently tragic in a human loving a vampire. As Hector says, his voice quiet, his acceptance already settling into place: "Recently, I've been caused to know the value...and the beauty...of things that live longer than I do."
It's his farewell. He only makes a small attempt to keep Lenore with him - to hold her back. But in the end, it's her future. Her choice. And she's entering the sunlight without him.
Why is this exchange between two side characters so important? Because it frames what follows. It poses the question: What now? When the battle is done, and the turmoil of a world at war is no longer holding you together, what comes next?
And will anyone remain at your side?
TREVOR & ALUCARD
To my complete and utter shock - as someone who was expecting nothing from the final season - Alucard finds the most extraordinary answer to these questions, while holding the most surprising person in his arms - refusing to let go. Not now that he finally has Trevor back.
And when Trevor asks him why he seems so "weirdly happy," Alucard says the line that gave this episode - the show's finale - its title.
It's been a strange ride, in so many ways, for everyone involved. But unlike Lenore, Alucard has no intention of giving up. For a while, when he was lonely and devastated and broken in his father's castle, maybe he would have chosen that same path. But now? Now...he's happy.
And while he may not know what's next, he knows who he wants to be there with him. Every single step of the way.
LISA & VLAD
And here's where this season exceeded my absolute wildest expectations. Trevor and Alucard even talking to each other again was something I'd hardly dared to hope I'd see, much less this quiet, intimate conversation between just the two of them bringing the main characters' story to a close.
But it doesn't end there. Not yet. Because after the fade to black, with Alucard still holding Trevor up - supporting him, caring for him - we discover that there's another human/vampire pair running through a rain-soaked night, finding shelter in a warmly lit room where they, too, can sit and talk.
Where they, too, can build a more hopeful future together.
Thanks to...the sort of ridiculous plot elements of this season, Vlad and Lisa are back from the dead. They have a brand new lease on life, and an endless array of options for how to spend it. They haven't ironed out all the details yet - this is still bewildering and maybe even a little bit frightening. You're not meant to get second chances, not like this.
But they're going to grab onto this new future with both hands. They're not letting go of it - or each other. And they'll...travel, maybe. Like they weren't able to the first time around. If they'd done that before...if Vlad hadn't left Lisa alone on that fateful day...maybe things wouldn't have ended so horribly.
Tonight, they're not thinking about that. They're thinking about what comes next.
The destination doesn't really matter. The fact that it's the two of them - together - is what counts.
But there is one place they can't go. Not yet.
Alucard - Adrian, their son - has been through far too much. He's had to grieve both his parents: twice. He's spent too much time framing his life around theirs - or around their absence, his world battered and broken and twisted into new shapes by his sorrow.
He deserves the chance to build his own life now, on his own terms. He should have the opportunity to find his own happiness.
What Adrian's parents don't realize is...he already has.
