Thinking about how nobody in Oakhurst truly knew Martyn. Not even until the very end. Out of all the people in the town, he spoke the least of his past, his intentions (that is, his real past).
As far as I remember, he never fully revealed to anyone that he was not, in truth, just some rich kid. They might have been able to figure this out on their own. He’s far too self sufficient and quick thinking to be a spoiled noble, but nothing was ever truly confirmed. Heck, the audience doesn’t even know what his real story was, just that his was “not rich.”
Do you think Sausage left Oakhurst and tried to learn more about his fallen friends, only to find nothing about a Martyn Woodhurst? No connections to any noble family, no prior connection to the town, just… nothing. Like he didn’t exist.
Did Martyn leave anyone behind? From how frantically he ran into town in the beginning, it seemed like he must have been running from something, from his past. We don’t know why he really came to Oakhurst in the first place, nor do we know if he has any connections left outside of the town. If he did, they will very likely never know what happened. How could they? Nobody would know to tell them.
Those who knew the true Martyn before the events of Vampires will never know what became of him, while those who saw him collapse, saw him die, never actually knew the real Martyn.
The survivors will go on to tell the story of a man who never existed, but the couldn’t have known any better. The real identity of Martyn Woodhurst died, all too abruptly, with him.
