Were you scared the two times you had to fight Dracula? Did you, at any point during the fights, thought that you were gonna lose, or maybe die after successfully killing him?
If I may be honest… Yes.
I was petrified.
The injuries I sustained from our first encounter—paired with the falsehoods Dracula planted in my mind during—had me absolutely certain I would not survive, and that I would perish either during the fight, or soon thereafter.
I had made my peace with God. As long as I slayed Dracula, what became of me after the battle did not matter.
Resigned to whatever fate God had chosen for me, I fought as hard as I possibly could.
It is a miracle I survived the battle.
However, for our second encounter…
To my greatest shame, I became cowardly. The curse—and the illnesses from it—wore me down. I was a shadow of my former self.
I became paralyzed with fear of what it meant to return to the ruins of Dracula’s Castle.
But I had no choice but to stand resolved: I had to heed the call, no matter how difficult.
No matter the cost.
Even my life.
But I was terrified, the moment that I arranged Dracula’s remains on the altar…
And when he appeared before me once again.

So, little attempt at comic stuff :3. I’ll be putting what the text says under a cut in case it’s still hard to read. Unfortunately this isn’t as high res as I’d like it to be but it was either do this or end up splitting an already short comic into two posts and eh this works, it’s an experiment anyway X3.
Text under here ⬇️
(Angel’s Hill)
(Simon walks through the foggy cemetery, all graves say “Belmont”.)
(He stops at one. The grave also says “BELMONT” on the top in bold lettering, but the bottom section is worn and only the names “Christopher” and “Cyncia” are readable.)
-
(Simon begins speaking, somberly.)
“It’s been a while since last I came to visit. I’ve been…
…reflecting on things lately—
too late— but about what happened then that day and now… well…”
(He hangs his head, shadows of his hair covering his eyes.)
“There’s something I have to tell you.”
(Simon looks away to the side towards the cliff’s edge for a moment.)
“I—”
(The waves are fairly calm below.)
“I won’t be coming back anymore. I came to apologize, say goodbye.”
(He reveals a blackened, shriveled, scarred hand from his cloak.)
“I think my time is getting near, it’s getting worse… again…”
“Everything has these past months, or years really… the townspeople, the nightmares… and this… this… sickness.”
—
Yeah so that’s it so far, not too many events happening, but it’s based on like a single line or so of the Japanese manual story. I’m kinda considering almost having like all of CV1 be a quick prologue cause it’s important context for story things I wanna do later. Simon’s story is both simultaneously comparatively short, but also somehow a lot (TwT ).

A long time ago, i made a post (that i can no longer find) about this song and how i could imagine it being Sara (as the "mysterious woman") talking to Simon when he was cursed and looking for guidance.
Well, just today, the full official version got released. And it is making my brain work even more. :)
