Renfield's unexpected knife attack on Jack on the very day that Dracula would want to get rid of the asylum doctor he knows could save Lucy's life once more is a clue that Dracula forced or directed Renfield to act this way. Renfield had said before that he'd never hurt Jack, and he never did before, nor does it again.

Got myself an edition of Dracula I've wanted for a long time - the one illustrated by Becky Cloonan - so here are some of my favourite illustrations (in phone camera quality, with the kitchen tablecloth in the background, sorry):
Jonathan's first illustration, the Weird Sisters, GET SHOVEL'D IDIOT
The Captain (you've probably seen this one before)
Basically every illustration featuring Renfield, they're so great. Good for him
Mina Harker, everybody (and YES she gets her canonical gun)
Our dear girls
The "get a job! stay away from her!" illustrations
LUCY
Jack being a brooding emo prince (again, good for him)...
...and, in particular, this little illustration of his first meeting with Mina. My favourite 19th century tech nerds.
The best couple in Gothic literature according to me:
Quincey looking almost exactly like his dark twin (Ethan Chandler in Penny Dreadful)
The 'Avengers assemble" one
(that's far from every illustration in the book, I simply didn't take pictures of every single one)

thought this as i was getting ready to sleep last night
atsushi who starts getting super clingy -- all hugs and cuddles, more than normal
atsushi rubbing his cheek against his friends'
atsushi giving his sweaters to his friends, or gloves or scarves or other such things
atsushi taking their clothes and wearing them and giving them back
the ada confused as hell, finally going to ranpo like "is atsushi dying???"
and ranpo is like "isn't it obvious"
and the ada is like "no" unaware that atsushi is scratching/sharpening his nails at the entrance
and ranpo is like "its the time of year we get a lot of cats in the neighborhood. he's marking his territory"
fukuzawa is delighted at being shown affection by his cat son but heartbroken that his cat son is trying to make sure no other cat comes
everyone else is mostly just amused
