Vanitas is just having SO MUCH FUN in this chapter, he really loves the stage doesn't he? and upstaging his enemies, that always puts him in a good mood

feeling a certain Way about Vanitas making Noé sit in on every bit of confessions from people!!!!!!! the trust!!! vani went from fearing him and keeping most info from noé to MAKING him be with him!!! what is that but the best gesture of love from Vanitas!!!! To let Noé KNOW him as a form of love for each other!!!

To keep riffing on my Riche thoughts for a moment, it seems significant to me that the first time we see her really step into the action in some way other than asking for help, her contribution is via acting. And specifically acting in the arc themed around the idea of "the self" and "personality" (in addition to social structures) as performances.

Furthermore, despite not being the performative/theatrical type in daily life, Riche turns out to be a pretty decent actress! Especially compared to Noé's stilted performance, which Mochijun places her in direct contrast with.

This is a somewhat. conspicuous character trait to establish at this particular point in time.

Shifting over to pure speculation, if I'm right about something Bad happening to Dante during this arc (which I realize is a really big if), I'm fascinated by the prospect of what might happen with Riche afterwards. If things do go that way, there's no way Johann's going to carry on business as usual in the aftermath, which means that poor Riche will suddenly be the only one left from our original dhampir trio.

If something like that does happen, I'd love to see Riche step into a more plot-relevant and leaderly role. The younger dham kids (assuming Mochijun doesn't go on another orphan-killing spree) are going to need her to step up and continue what she, Dante, and Johann have already been doing for them. They'll need a leader and protector and someone to interface with dangerous outsiders like Machina for them. And Vanitas will also need a new primary information broker. Who better to fill those roles?

And going back to the whole "Riche's apparently a decent actor" bit, given how thus far she's one of the only characters that doesn't put on any sort of affectation or cling to any denial to hide her "true self," it makes me wonder what that latent theatrical competence might be put toward in the future. She hasn't been using her ability to act for much up until now, so why draw her into the spotlight and establish that skill? To me, the obvious answer is that it's establishing something that will become key for Riche later.

If she does have to step in and start to fill Dante's bigger shoes, the ability to act and put on the type of protective mask that she's never needed before would do her a lot of good.

I think about this multiple times a year since 2022 it’s so stupid but I can’t get over it so I’m sharing here finally

it’s stated that noé never heard vanitas say this

and that dante told him about the hostage situation just like what vanitas was trying to do again in the catacombs but that would mean dante told noé word for word what vanitas said and noé memorized it to later use against him ↓

It's such an amazing feeling when someone picks up on something in your writing that you 100% intended but didn't think people would notice. Like, YES!! My writing properly conveyed the thing it was supposed to!!! You are so awesome for noticing that!!! I am so awesome for writing that!!! I feel so good about my story now!!!!
