[Reading through the journals back at the estate had established the importance of preventing this terrible resurrection from passing. (They had a month and change, if Sypha's hunch was right. Alucard saw no reason it wouldn't be, not with every passing detail they learned about what Walter was.) But hearing it said out loud is a very different experience indeed. Jabs about poetry aside (there were some sidebars in that journal that were clearly a) proto-sonnets and b) absolutely not meant for anyone else to read ever), the descriptions were clear eyed and beyond helpful for the task at hand.
Going through the corridors, Alucard continues to rely on the torches. Overly-decorated means a real fortune, even more so than it does now, and as the description of what lies ahead continues, the look on his face grows grimmer and grimmer. He cannot reach into his coat for something to stuff his ears with if need be, the hand not holding the torch is clinging to his father's scattered notes, but the inability to act gives him a terrible thought.]
Do the journals note the Matron's fate?
[If she is loyal. If she believes in the work. If she has seen the aftermath of Dracula's death and known that there must be some truly fearsome vampire power, then the question of who the culprit is might lie at her feet. Or she may be an ally of whoever is responsible. Alucard hates both options, but they need this information.
He still follows after Trevor. His face is too still, as if expecting something to leap out.]
Cheery and with no blood removal spells ever applied.
