At first, it had been Alucard. On his arrival it had been the fact of his lover that had been there, soft and smiling and welcoming. Today it was someone very different, and one that made him even more uncomfortable. Kell. His brother, trapped in this place with him.

I have seen love and family found here, peace and acceptance garnered when in our native societies it may be unattainable. Yes, there is the darkness, the nightmares. But we are here anyway. So I ask you, why?"
