[With Alucard's permission, Viktor allows himself to wander through the astral landscape of his mind. They've spent so much time talking about the traumatic instances of their past that sometimes it's difficult for Viktor to remember the love Alucard has for his parents and the time he spent with them in the castle, before everything went wrong.
He feels the joy--the happiness--as if it's his own.
Of course, it can't last, though Viktor knows that Alucard is not intentionally showing him the worst of it. Joy and despair--two sides of the same coin. His friend would not be the person he is without either, and Viktor watches as the unspeakable betrayal of his father's misdeeds gives way to new friendships. New bonds, just as valuable.
When they return to the astral space, there is little to say, at least, nothing that could properly convey his gratitude. Viktor, hesitantly at first, closes his hand around Alucard's upper arm and pulls him in for an embrace.]
