-They have to win this. They have to survive this. But Alucard has to survive this as himself, and that's as desperately important as anything else.
(It would be easy, if Alucard didn't need to survive as himself. He has so many more options open to him, so many more than he did against Sypha's captor, and all he has to do is to let himself be a badly-controlled war dog. These are vampires. Things that he can kill easily. He can kill anyone who whispers anything. He can end all of this, and all that it would take is to let Alucard put down his rabid dog at the end of it.
And there lies the problem.)

Beautiful. So beautiful. [ Not as much so as he ought to be, worn and tired as he is. But still beautiful, even now. ] I love you so much.
