Why, Square Enix?
SPOILERS AHEAD: FF7 Rebirth
I have cried many tears over Zack and Aerith, especially more so now that I'm watching a Rebirth playthrough.
I... It just doesn't seem fair! The torture of watching them in separate timelines, being able to feel each other's presence but not able to get any closer. It's heartbreaking.
And Zack is such a good guy, facing absolute tragedy with a smile on his face and remaining positive despite his timeline ending in death every time no matter what he does.
Square Enix, I beg of you, my heart can't take any more! Please, I just want them to be happy together!

Sephiroth and Female Reader: A Short Excerpt-Crisis Core Era.
The moment Sephiroth himself brought you on board as a new recruit, a connection instantly tethered you two together. It was quite a mystery; because aside from Genesis, Angeal, and Zack, the silver soldier wasn't known to bond with others so quickly.
You rose through the ranks under Sephiroth's wing (no pun intended), spending hours training together, going on missions together, and chatting in your rare off time. So much so that fellow Soldiers started calling you Sephiroth's Girl.
"Hey there, fellow Cadet!" Zack, the Puppy Soldier, scampered up to you. "Hojo wants to see you in the lab."
You inwardly shiver hearing that name, but begrudgingly agree to see what that horrid scientist wants.
You despised Hojo. Mostly because you were able to see just how uncomfortable Sephiroth was in the doctor's presence, and you came to the conclusion that Hojo must've done some violating things to your friend. That and Sephiroth made sure that for any medical checkups, Hojo was allowed nowhere near you.
And the irony, on your way down, you passed by the silver soldier as he was headed in the same direction. And he immediately took notice of this.
"Don't tell me that Hojo requested your presence at the lab too?"
"...Yes." You slowly answer, suspicion creeping into your brain. "He has. What does he want you for?"
Alarm bells rang in Sephiroth's head. Hojo must've noticed how close he was getting with you. He grabbed your wrist rather hard and started leading you away from the elevator.
"Ouch! Sephiroth, hold your horses! What are you doing?"
He tugs you into a training room and taps in a code to lock the door before answering.
"Don't freak out, but there's only one reason why Hojo would call both of us into his office. That monster..."
You can see Sephiroth's body convulse as he struggles to get the words out. And it clicks. You start to feel rage simmer at the base of your gut.
"That lunatic wants to... breed us?! UGH! No, no, a million times no, I am not letting that quack use me to violate you!"
Sephiroth isn't surprised that you managed to piece it together, you were very clever when it came to figuring out problems.
"There you go again putting me first, Cadet. Your body matters too, you know, and I am not letting Hojo get his hands on you."
You notice something, something different, an intensity in those blue/green eyes that you've never seen before. Sephiroth was always protective of you, but now, of all times, you start to question why.
"Sephiroth? ...I have to ask, why me? I mean, I really appreciate everything you've done for me, but why? I'm just your average Soldier."
"...Cadet, you're more than that."
Sephiroth hesitated. He was scared. Scared that if he told you why he cared about you, that you would disappear just like Angeal and Genesis. But he had to, you wanted an answer.
"The day I selected you out of dozens of candidates for Shinra, I didn't know yet just how much you would mean to me. You treat me as a human, Cadet; not a hero to live up to, not a celebrity to admire, and not a test subject to poke and prod whenever you feel like it. I'm your equal, your friend... You help me feel normal."
You stare at your friend, unable to form words. But, your body moves on its own, your arms encircling Sephiroth and pulling him into a hug. And from the way you feel his arms grab onto you and his body relax, it seems he really needed this.
"Sephiroth... I promise... I'm gonna try my best to always be there for you. And if Hojo ever tries anything, can I borrow your sword to skewer him?"
The silver soldier chuckles softly.
"Sure you can. And... I promise to try to always be there for you in return. I won't let anything hurt you."

Mixup is starting to remember Music
So she goes out to sing to keep her sanity in check.
The Circus crew take notice and Jax goes to check it out.
Jax: (Play it off, Jax. Keep your cool.)
And from this point forward, Jax secretly hopes for Mixup to continue singing... Because he finds it beautiful.

Ok, Fine... I'll get into it. Why not?
Her real name is Jenn. Her friend dared her to play the game. And the only thing she can remember is that she loves horses.
When literally dropping into the circus, she knocked right into Jax upon landing. She's terrified of Caine because of how he looks. And her adventure was a good old game of Hide n' Seek, where she had to find all the other characters.

On the note of Alucard's return
Yes, it is true. Fans of the games and the Series' alike can rejoice. Our beloved Half-Blood Prince has returned to the world.
But, I just wanted to point something out that is pretty obvious, so I expect others to have pointed it out already.
Alucard is tired. And he feels empty.
To quote Sypha from Castlevania Season 2, "It's like he's a cold spot in the room. An icy well that's bottomless and swallows up your voice or anything you try to drop into it."
Which is to be expected. One can only imagine how empty Alucard feels watching Trevor, Sypha, and all of their descendants before Richter, pass away while he lives on.
And more to it, he's definitely exhausted cutting down the resurgence of evil vampire covens decade after decade, but it's a heavy task that Alucard knows he still has to do. To help where no one else will.
I could just feel it when I saw him, saw it in his eyes, and heard it in his voice. There's nothing left of the man he once was, and almost nothing inside Alucard at all. There is still a small amount of "something" there, but whatever Alucard is running on, it is running out quickly.
