”I’m back, Juste, after so long. You’re a sight for sore eyes, my friend.”

Okay, finally, we’re at a gravesite. Time to finally put this vampire Maxim theory to rest because I’m pretty sure now he’s just dead. I am ready to accept that and move forward treating it as an AU, just show me his grave.

…??? Why is there only one grave?

Okay, yeah that’s Lydie’s grave. That doesn’t surprise me, she literally died in his arms so we know for a fact he saw/held her body at some point with no indication that he lost track of it. Until it’s explicitly said that the grave is actually empty, it’s safe to assume that this all but explicitly confirms Juste buried her body.

So where the fuck is Maxim’s grave??? It should be somewhere nearby?!

This is the wall of graves they showed in that original teaser, is he there in—HIS NAME ISN’T ON FUCKING ANY OF THESE?!

IF THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS GRAVE WHY THE FUCK IS HIS NAME NOT HERE?!?!

MAXIM DOESN’T HAVE A GRAVE?!

HE DOESN’T HAVE A GRAVE?!

The way the tree is positioned in all these shots implies the tree might be a substitute for Maxim’s grave, especially in this last shot where it that branch is acting like an arm wrapping around Lydie’s grave.

We know Juste held her body, Lydie’s grave all but directly confirms he eventually buried that body.

Having a tree in place of Maxim’s grave implies HE DIDN’T BURY MAXIM’S BODY.

IF HE DIDN’T BURY MAXIM’S BODY THEN

THEN THAT MEANS—?!

so I have officially reached a point where I have concluded Maxim’s probably just actually dead and not secretly floating around as a vampire in Nocturne. Which I am mostly okay with because I decided fuck it, if Nocturne won’t do it I will. So here you go a rough idea of what vampire Maxim would look like.
