No one enjoys it. But there are times in which it is helpful to expose that part of you.

It can be strengthening as well.

[Alucard gazes down at Minato sympathetically.]

I will tell you. A part of what looms over me.

When I return to Wallachia, I must kill my father so he does not destroy humanity. It is why I am so apprehensive to return. I do not relish going home to attempt to stop him, but if I do not, the humans will die.

The longer I am here, the less my odds are. Yet, I have companions-- friends here. If I could have days in which I simply listened to music or worked to understand the complexity of someone's anatomy, I would live those days gladly, even if it means living through insufferable occasions like this with ridiculous music and attempting to tolerate impulses.

It is still better than what waits for me.

I... encourage you to speak to me, Minato.
