You've talked at times about A struggling with how others see them as a vampire. Does that mean many humans have found out about her?
It's usually the reaction of human agents, not humans out in the public.
Human agents usually have amazement when meeting most supernaturals, but with vampire stories and myths being so common in the human world, they experience the most fear when meeting vampires.
And A can pick up on it, even if the agent tries to hide it (vampiric senses and all, lol).
Even with as stoic as A is, it has had an effect after all the centuries they've experienced those initial reactions!
Not that they've ever considered it might be their icy lack of greeting that also might be contribiuting to that initial wariness from people...lol! :D

So, I've been replaying N's route lately and an epiphany came to me last night when I was playing the end of Book 3.
It's in Book 2 I believe that you can ask Nate if he's ever killed someone while talking to him about how old he is. He frowns for a minute and says, "Not with my own hands, no."
Weird, right? After what we see in the mirror at the carnival, when he says he got turned at sea, it's clear that the image in the mirror was of that time right after he got turned. He's covered in blood, surrounded by bodies while wearing a British Royal Navy uniform.
Originally, since Falk declared N Not Guilty, I assumed that perhaps N had come to terms with the reaction they had to being a newly turned vampire. I thought maybe they'd lost control and slaughtered the men of the ship, or perhaps they'd been attacked and defended themself. A sort of Jekyll + Hyde situation where N doesn't consider their frenzied state to be truly Them.
BOOK 3 SPOILERS AHEAD
And then we get into Book 3, and it's really clear that N has not been to therapy enough to not blame themself if they'd killed that many people. They're overprotective and selfless to the point of self sacrifice for the slightest inconvenience and they blame themself for any little inconvenience that befalls MC. Clearly, they are not well-adjusted enough to separate something that happened in desperation and fear from who they truly are.
This put me on the back foot, trying to figure out what that could mean. If you are dating N, they tell you about their brother, M*lton, who was killed by vampires. They tell you about joining the Navy to seek revenge or to at least find out what happened to their brother. Makes sense.
The moment that made my theory CLICK in my head happens at the end of the book, if you ignore Rebecca's idea and go alone to the auction.
So, you get captured and the auctioneer person tries to sell you off for your blood. Just like the other 3 routes, N will come to rescue you at the auction, and they have a brief spat with someone in the audience who tries to outbid them.
[ID included on screenshot.]
This moment I originally thought was a pheromone thing. It doesn't seem like just a threat, as Nate seems visibly shaken and weakened by whatever it is he did. Also, the strange way the supernatural responds seems to suggest some kind of influence.
And then it hit me --- "Not with my own hands, no."
N's power is some kind of mind control / suggestion ability.
They never killed anyone with their own hands because they told the pirates / vampires to kill each other or kill themselves.
The theme of control comes up several times in N's route. N prides themself on being very in control of their body and their emotions, keeps their wants hidden and their true feelings locked firmly away beyond anything that is pleasant or kind. It makes me wonder if, aside from being able to influence people on command, if they can accidentally influence people when they get too emotional.
I also think it might require touch to really make the power work. They constantly keep their hands in their pockets and, while this is a normal enough idle motion, the fact that they touched the supernatural here and often put their hands in their pockets / withdraw touch when having a disagreement with someone suggests it might have something to do with it.
The amount of trust that UB must have in N when they have a power like that is enormous. It also sheds new light on the arguments that N and A often get into, as it seems that if N really wanted to, they could get their way every time via this weird power.
It also sheds new light on Rebecca's concern for N and MC. The assumption that MC is immune to this ability is there, but there's always the chance that they aren't, and Rebecca being worried about N forcing MC into doing things via suggestion seems to be very real.
It also makes me wonder if N has ever tested out whether their suggestion works on MC, or if they've thought about it with something small. Makes me wonder if we are entirely immune or if there's going to be some caveat like with M and their pheromones causing MC pain.
EITHER WAY, I feel like I figured it out. I'm losing my mind with the implications of it all.
Wish I was any good at drawing, there's not nearly enough UB art and certainly very little Felix/Farah art showing their incredible smile with four upper fangs! 😍👌
Rebecca's coping mechanism for her loss is... Pitiful. Working endlessly and tirelessly just to numb her pain and distract herself from the harsh reality. Subconsciously letting the blood and tears from her wounds to slowly drown and taint her only daughter.
As a child, my detective often wonders 'Where is she?' 'Doesn't she want to play with me anymore?' 'I miss you, mom'
And it went like that for most of her years.
When Rebecca comes home to visit her, she is the most happiest daughter in the world and everytime Rebecca had to leave, the small detective's heart would scream.
Begging silently for Rebecca, her mother to stay longer with her to play Tea Time, to read her bedtime stories, to tuck her to bed and so many more.
But she couldn't. She can't.
Even as a small child, the detective can read people very well. She saw something in her mother's eyes that is so sorrowful and sad, she couldn't utter the words that's born deep within her heart.
As Rebecca prepared to leave, my small detective will smile, hug her tightly and waved cheerfully goodbye.
picking back through the books and geez, why are rebecca and captain sung so frosty toward each other? was something going on when rook was alive or something?
Rebecca is kind of frosty with everyone, lol! But Sung was close to Rook, and Rebecca has never been forthcoming about Rook's death, so it's a bit of a wall to their interactions!
Obviously, Sung was told the cover story for Rook's death, which everyone believed, but Sung knew Rook and just can't believe it's true (even if he would never even guess the truth!). So he's always suspected something, but Rebecca is a fortress and would never let anything slip, hehe!

Hii! I had some random questions about the vampires.
First, I know that M doesn’t smoke because of an addiction, but is it possible as a vampire to be addicted to any sort of substance that humans can become addicted to? Would harder drugs have any effect on their bodies?
Also, do the vampires have to drink water? and if so do they use the bathroom?
I suppose like alcohol, they wouldn't really feel the effect of drugs, so it's not something they'd become addicted to.
They have the ability to become addicted to things, because there are a lot of vampires addicted to blood, especially certain types. The MC's mutation in their blood is definitely addictive for them!
They don't drink water or go to the bathroom. They absorb everything from whatever they consume because of how intense their abilities are.
Just curious. Does UB have social media accounts? If yes, are they following/friends with the MC already at this point? Lol. I wonder how the ROs will react if MC posts selfies and other stuffs 😂
Agents are allowed to have social media accounts, but the Agency does have like it's sort of own social media thing.
Like a network that links all the agents.
It was originally supposed to be so as agents all across the different facilities could keep up with updates from other teams, but agents took it over and now it's like a private social media site specifically for agents where they post volgs, blogs, photos, etc, lol! :D
