Summary: Trevor and Sypha are dragged back from death in September of 1783, on the night that Olrox kills Julia Belmont. They're too late to save her, and they find her corpse there on the streets of Boston, left to rot unceremoniously in a pool of her own blood--and they find her son, with Sypha's eyes and Alucard's grief, shivering on the docks.

They were too late to save Julia, but they're not too late to protect Richter.

…

In which Trevor and Sypha are brought back to life by unknown forces and take in their ten-year-old descendant, and drag Alucard back into the fold as well.

Reputation Magazines 1 and 2 | Everything Has Changed | Paper Rings | Peace | Call it What You Want Lyric Video | Lover Album Cover Photoshoot | 1989 Deluxe Polaroids

Taylor has used the imagery of painted blue walls on Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover and Folklore. While many Swifties imagine this is Taylor literally painting a muses brothers wall's blue, I don't agree because the blue wall was in:

lyrics on Red, Red has a link to Daylight and the lover prologue also

the 1989 Polaroids,

the CIWYW lyric video & Reputation magazines, looking staged. She also wears a cap similar to the Red TV cover.

the Lover Album Cover shoot, looking obviously staged where Taylor says it is possible album covers many times. The final Lover cover had her hair dyed/coloured/painted blue. In the video you can see Taylor had painted a heart on the blue lover wall, which is a happier sky blue daylight shade than in Reputation's depressed navy.

Symbolism

Walls can symbolise barriers, a shield to threats, isolation, boundaries and privacy, a separation of private and public.

Blue can symbolise calm, serenity but also depression and sadness. Taylor uses two very different shades in this way.

Painting can symbolise covering up, transforming or hiding something.

Brother - sometimes a brother is just a male sibling but it can also be a close trusted friend or companion.. perhaps a male friend who Taylor cowrote a love song about you with

To me I think the blue walls are a separation of Taylor and everyone else, her life is too public and she is exposed which made her sad, or blue:

She met the muse in EHC and took down her blue walls, letting them in.

In 1989 the polaroids for Clean and IWYW she has tall blue walls again, the tone looks like a pale blue with a yellow filter. This may be a happy shade and the filter makes it ambiguous, like that album.

On Reputation she paints the walls blue again, this time a depressed navy, her life is private and she's depressed. The background on CIWYW is also blue.

On Lover the shade is happy, but the scene is so forced. The lyric is remembering painting walls with someone, like a secret safe world. Paper Rings copies the melody of Breathe In, Breathe Out a song about a break up that Taylor mentioned on Tumblr on 25 June 2015 and referred to in Getaway Car and Labyrinth. Paper Rings is about a more complex feeling than it seems, and seemingly was written before Reputation was released or earlier.
