Draw the curtain, for our revels are now ended.
I've always wanted to create a fanart that captures my overall impression of this ficl! Now that the mystery has been (partially) revealed, I finally have the chance... (though some of it is still my speculation).
I think I've not mentioned a point I really love in this fic before — that is, almost the entire novel so far is told from Vincent's perspective. And that means, even though we're technically in an omniscient point of view, we still can't figure Alastor out. Sometimes he feels so distant and mysterious 😩😩 It's agonizing(in a good way). I guess for some time, we'll have to think desperately like Vincent does — why did Alastor do that? Where did Alastor go? How can we bring Alastor back? But it's also very captivating... I think this is one of the unique charms of this fic!
Every time I try to imagine the reason for his time travel, I feel a bit sad. Ugh, Alastor is really bad at feeling and is completely clueless about this situation, isn't he? 😭 At the end of this chapter, he seems truly devastated. I felt a bit heartbroken reading that part too... 💔 (I mean, please continue, dear author, I love feeling heartbroken XD)
