Okay I know it’s late but something just came to mind. In Castlevania Alucard was attacked by Dracula in the first episode, then fell asleep a little over a year. Then he woke up and met up with Trevor and Cypha and killed Dracula. Then he was left alone with his grief for 1 month where he became very lonely, then Sumi and Taka stabbed him in the back after he had grown a strong liking to them.
What I’m getting at here is that all of these horrible things happened in very quick succession from Alucards perspective. In the real world it’s been a year and a half maybe but in Alucards mind it was only about 2 months since he was asleep for all that time.
2 months
2 FUCKING MONTHS
His mother was murdered, then he was attacked by his father, he fell asleep for a year, woke up just to get in another fight, makes 2 close friends, he is forced to kill his father, his friends leave him to go on an adventure, he is left completely alone with his grief for a month, then meets 2 new friends only for them to betray him in the worst way possible, then he is forced to kill them to defend himself...
This is a character heavily implied to have the mental age of a teenager...
No WONDER he’s absolutely mentally destroyed.
Please save my boy.
