Parallels - "I love the parallels with Alucard using Trevor as a convenient stake holder, trying to die in the same way he killed his father. This really ties in with the scene where they fight Dracula and then when Sypha and Trevor leave, and I also like the way that Alucard mirrors Dracula in wanting to die."
Pardon the pun, but I really wanted to drive home the point that things haven't been going well, and I personally love the idea of Alucard wanting to punish himself in the same manner that he ended his father. It was a jarring way to start, but I can't see things getting better without getting worse first.
