One thing that broke my heart was that Noé still tried to ask Vanitas first before he lunged at him, even with the fucking insane pressure on everyone at that moment.
Noé doesn’t believe in looking into peoples memories or drinking their blood without consent. That goes against all his moral beliefs. He doesn’t want to become what everyone (aside from maybe Domi and Louis) already see him as. He doesn’t want to become what he already thinks he is.

I saw this post that made me realize that this command/warning is incredibly specific to a group of vampires . Can we just take a moment to note how shit vanitas’s luck (or really, Teacher’s intentional planning) must be to run into an archiviste? Out of all the vampires he could fall into this situation with,, it was a vampire breed known for accessing someone’s memories. I don’t know about the second part with luna but if that is the case,, holy shit .

and that last scene with vanitas ,,, oh god . I feel like he switched to autopilot almost as if it were trained or burned into him (not just in the chasseur training way though) . I think half of it has to do with his chasseur background but the other half is something he learned from the VOTBM and he was told to protect at all costs. I mean, he’s literally quoting luna when he says all this, including “kill that vampire” I assume (which could either just be “that” as in general archiviste or it could be multiple? or maybe luna knew it would be specific to Noé,,, anyways). My point is, I think his brain is literally forcing itself to fall back into old ways as a way to cope with the situation at hand and make sure nobody ever accesses luna’s memories. I wonder what would happen if a vampire where to drink and/or see luna’s memories ? Would it have an effect on them/ their formula ?
that’s all . i apologize for the mess ahdjshjsnsns
