#do u think the reason why d keeps doing this thankless job bc he sees himself as a Weapon

[bossmodeplus]

Tfw you realize D's job as a hunter, a savior of humanity from the revenant effectively becomes thankless due to his half-vampire heritage. Any bonds he makes with his allies are ultimately short lived because they are only mortal. Thus, he keeps the world at arm's length.

Meier's refusal to turn Charlotte faces a similar issue of mortality. She will either die well before he does or fall prey to the curse of the Nobility. If they procreate, the child is also inevitability damned.

D and Meier's ultimate crime comes from simply...existing. D is chased out of town whose children he rescued from a Noble. He is still one of them after all. Meier dared to love a human woman and leave together.

Leila watched as The Marcus Brothers-- who practically treated her as their own-- get picked off one by one. Borgoff becomes one of the Nobility, thereby making her, in a way relive when her mother came back the same before she had to be killed. Kyle and Nolt are killed in different parts of the film. Grove sacrificed his life to save Leila and set free Borgoff of the Noble's curse.

D finds allyship in the granddaughter of a woman he met many years prior. Her existence will also go the way of the winds.

This film has strong themes of existential sadness and tragic inevitability in its framework and I wish people talked about it more.
