I know European vampire politics. They're different here.

[ And that's technically a good thing, but he still actually kind of hates it. It's unfamiliar, and the unfamiliar has always meant bad things for Belmonts. ]

Vampires don't gather in cities in Europe. Not unless something's gone horribly, horribly wrong. It's easier to know when someone's gone missing in a small village than it is in a city, so we drove them into more rural areas. [ The bombings will have fucked that up. Vulnerable people flooding into rural areas, with less than ideal record-keeping. A good hunting ground. Ugh. ] Honestly, it's amazing to me that there can be this many sharing territory without all out war.
