the sheer audacity of s.v 128 is going to haunt me for the next year or two so i'm just going to blurt out my feelings when it comes to adam/kur.o/inner!sl.oth like the fan i am because this has me so😭 every single time i read it,
first off, adam ... i am so sorry, adam. the young boy who died 500+ years ago has never had the opportunity to be properly buried, has been nothing but a ghost clung onto by those who wish to shine through him all these years later. the count, a man he never knew (as far as we are aware) created a system to chain his entire life to him, simply because he had never been able to fully process the grief over such a unpredictable death. adam was never mourned by the village who let him take blame as their sacrifice, never mourned by the one who claimed to wish to stay by his side forever by disrespecting his wishes to him, but was never mourned by himself, either. for hundreds of years ku.ro clung onto the idea that he could somehow change things and become adam again, from his first stinging question to gear in the woods all those years ago: "do i no longer look human?", because there had always been that hope. ku.ro's feigned ignorance to who he was meant adam, the boy who had already accepted his passing, could never rest so peacefully. just like the count could never claim a form to his grief, adam could never claim the form of who he was. not until ku.ro understood the reality of the situation at hand. mah.iru was right, a person who died could never come back ---- not the same, anyway. his time to rest was long ago, but someone like him could never have complained over it. to have been sent off by two prayers straight from the heart, one being the respect of his own... adam may have gone, but there will always be a part of him in ku.ro. even in his memories, that is.
inn.er!sloth really was just ... asking to help ku.ro for all these years. he's been the bad guy throughout a lot of ku.ro's early memories, and even in this chapter plays the role of an antagonistic character rather well ... in the end he had never wanted the counts world disrupted, but he had looked out for ku.ro and wished to make him stronger above all else. for years, he has simply danced with himself while the one most precious to him had considered him naught but a memory, so much so that once kur.o had finally offered a hand out, there had truly been that moment of shock. misunderstood might be the best word for him, the bad guy who wasn't fully bad in the first place. the mention of how a demons rage seems to come from rejection is something painful for a lonely soul, too.
ku.ro ... how much he's grown, in this chapter. with ku.ro, we've gone through the whole 5 stages of grief in this manga, and the sight of the acceptance stage really signals how much that's come to the end. despite his hatred of the serv.amp dynamic, everything vampirelike and inhumane in the slightest, his own interpersonal relationships rely so heavily on the same promise the count had, that with distance and time and separation, then a bond would simply cease to exist. ku.ro has always held a good relationship with humans, but that doesn't mean he considered them long lasting. even gea.r, whom he spent hundreds of years with, was considered someone who would simply stop because ku.ro chose to separate and instead, like a contract, doubted he would ever want to see him again after all they did. the count had ku.ro under similar ideals to his own, and the parallels between the two this chapter is something striking. ku.ro has finally broken free of those kinds of chains, and accepted the first friend he's made in years into his life. he chooses to look forward to the future, despite the past he has clung onto and lamented on his entire life. to accept his demon ... was a move he didn't even think he would take four days ago, but to go to the levels of understanding him ... that's important too.
ashes to ashes as a concept in christian.ity defined simply as: remember that god always has a plan. though you’re to return to dust, you’re also to be resurrected by christ himself when the time comes. it's used in a literal sense, in this case, but also a reminder that life can be lived to the fullest. adam had borrowed time, but ku.ro and inner!slo.th have what may feel like forever. mah.iru has borrowed time, and ku.ro knows he wants to spend his life doing more than just worrying about the time he'll forget him.
this is a turning point, and i am so ready to see where it leads. sorry you caught the eye and created the entire blood contract system by catching the eye of an obsessive demon in the 13th century adam but hey, there has been some beautiful things come from it too.
