Amelia: I’m confident that I am attracted to only men. Unlike the entire cast, I must be straight.

Mochijun: Woah there don’t jump to conclusions-

A: I’m jumping! I’ve jumped, I’ve landed. Straight.

Domi: Just keep in mind things may not be as they appear...

Amelia: Huh?? *bi flag manifests behind her*

TENTATIVE ANALYSES: THE CASE STUDY OF VANITAS

Chapter 5: Archiviste, Fangs That Reveal Blood

NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

We open on a flashback that shows a young Noé refusing to drink blood, to the surprise of a friend who states he used to like it so much. It's implied that it's because of his powers.

The flashback is revealed to be a dream, and Noé is woken up by Vanitas for a peaceful breakfast over the rooftops of Paris, before going to Count Orlok. In the ensuing discussion, Amelia is revealed to be alive and well, and that the Count found her a job as a live-in maid for the hotel Noé and Vanitas are staying at, as her neighbours know she has been a cursebearer and thus would reject her. He also gets Noé to find out what exactly happened to her, as he is an Archiviste: a vampire with the special power to see the memory of everyone he sucks blood from for the first time. Appearently, they 'perished' long ago, which is why the reveal is the cause of Manet's shock ... and appearently doesn't please Vanitas one bit, for Reasons that will be explained later in the series.

Anyway, Noé sees the repressed memories of Amelia, and her meeting with the Parade of Charlatan, a nightmarish carnival that concluded with her meeting with the entity Naenia who corrupted her name. The influx of terrible emotions is too much for Noé, who has a crisis mirroring Amelia's at the time.

Just outside, a new character sees fit to make her entrance: Dominique De Sade, "Noé's fiancée".

NARRATIVE TECHNIQUES

We open with a flashback, which serves to present a few details on the characters (Noé likes drinking blood a lot, something he hasn't been seen doing so far in the main story) and on the worldbuilding (it establishes that these vampires don't strictly need blood to survive). It also shows us more of the relationship between Noé and Mystery Kid, who insofar has appeared in flashbacks only to taunt that cursebearers can't be saved.

The section where Noé drinks Amelia's blood to see what happened to her uses a lot of 'open' panels, for a confounding, psychedelic effect.

CHARACTERS

Dominique: she makes her official debut in this chapter. She present herself as a confident woman who isn't afraid of stepping on the toes of a nobleman to get what she wants, but she has too few lines for a proper comment on her character.

Orlok: we get to see another side of the Count's personality. Despite his stern and ruthless attitude in the second chapter, once the matter with Amelia was explained, he took the care of providing for her lodgings now that she finds herself disgraced. He is also determined to find out what is causing the curse's spread, and available to work with a human with strange powers if it means getting to the end of it.

Amelia: she is now completely safe and sound, and stammering around her saviors. Besides blushing, she doesn't do much here.

Vanitas: he is back on his confident, extravagant attitude, but it doesn't last long. He invites Noé to have breakfast on rooftops, deals with Orlok like a social equal - even while making very clear that he isn't taking formal arrangments with anyone, their work together is just temporary, if they don't like each other they will part ways with no regrets. But this turns on his head when he finds out that Noé is an Archiviste: he acts much more aloof, and seems even angry at the sight of Noé using his powers on Amelia, even if it will benefit him too.

Noé: the star of the chapter. We find out that he is literally the survivor of a massacre, and likely has never met anyone with powers similar to his own, and has an ambivalent relationship to them. He likes drinking blood, but this very act activates them. He is very careful in obtaining Amelia's consent to see her memories, and bites her delicately in a neutral spot, her wrist. We see that his powers allow him to find memories the very person has forgotten, so diving into the subconscious, but he has also troubles at separating his own identity and emotions from the ones he's witnessing. When Amelia's name is corrupted, he reacts like this has been done to him. So, our naïve newcomer has quite the load of issues himself.

THEMES

The theme of 'identity' starts making some other steps. Here, it concerns Noé: our protagonist, who insofar has been known just by his first name, is now revealed to be an 'Archiviste', a vampire with special powers, and of a kind that was wiped out 'a long time ago'. We know that Noé has grown up in the care of a 'Teacher', so he hasn't been around people of his own clan; he's literally a genocide survivor. Not only this already isolates his identity from those around him, it also confuses it to himself: when he uses his specifically Archiviste powers, he gets so involved in Amelia's memories that he can no longer tell her emotions from his own, forgetting himself for a while.

SYMBOLISM

Nothing special this episode.

REFERENCES

• The masks of the Parade of Charlatan: they are the kind of masks used in Venice's Carnival. We see some plague doctor masks, a few mattacino ('little fool', those that resemble jesters) and volto (the full face, oval ones). The one thing that could be meaningful is that in the Middle Ages and Reinassance, Carnival in Venice lasted several weeks and was a time of legally-sanctioned chaos, where people could put on masks in public and go do and say whatever they wanted, with and to whomever they wanted. The masks were less for aesthetic and more to guarantee anonimity: the most popular traditional costume, the bauta, includes a simple white mask with an odd shape, but it allows the wearer to eat and drink without removing it and modifies to some extent the voice. Certo che se la Mochizuki avesse messo la gnaga gli shipper italiani della Vanoé sarebbero esplosi. I think this function could tie in with the Parade of Charlatan, for reasons that I'll elaborate more in the light of some revelations in further chapters.

Bauta costume.

Mattacino, volto, medico della peste

De Sade: a sure reference to the Marquis Donatien Alphonse François De Sade, writer infamous for his erotic books where sex was associated to acts of cruelty and violence. This translated to his personal life, where he was involved in several scandals and even arrested for rape. His name is the origin of the word 'sadism'.

And this is all for this chapter. Thank to everyone who read so far!
