Fun fact, JVC manufactured the Commodore 1701 and 1702 monitors for the Commodore 64 (left) but also made a bigger 20" version (right). I didn't realize the 1702 had a "big brother" until this one came up locally. It has BNC connectors for composite or a VTR connector if you had a system that used that.

Lyrics:

From where you are

You see the smoke start to arise

Where they play cards

And you walk over

Softly moving passed the guards

The stakes are getting higher

You can feel it in your heart

He calls you bluff

He is the ace you never thought

He played that much

And now it's more than all this cards

You want to touch

You never know if winning this

Could really be enough

Take a look

Beyond the moon

You see the stars

And when you look around

You know the room by heart

I have never dreamed it

Have you ever dreamed a night like this

I cannot believe it

I may never see a night like this

When everything you think is incomplete

Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek

Could you ever dream it

I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this

How many times

Have I been waiting by the door

To hear these chimes

To hear that someone debonair has just a arrived

And opened up to see

My world before my eyes

That silhouette creates an image

On the night I can't forget

It has the scent of something special

I can't rest

If I resist temptation

Oh, I know for sure that I will lose the bet

I walk away and suddenly it seems

I'm not alone

In front of me he stands

I stop, before he goes

I have never dreamed it

Have you ever dreamed a night like this

I cannot believe it

I may never see a night like this

When everything you think is incomplete

Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek

Could you ever dream it

I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this

I have never dreamed it

Have you ever dreamed a night like this

I cannot believe it

I may never see a night like this

When everything you think is incomplete

Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek

Could you ever dream it

I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this

Alright. Okay.

So the entire time I've been reading VnC, I've been assuming that Noé is the sole known survivor of the Archivistes in a relatively normal way. I've been assuming that something happened to the Archiviste clan within Noé's lifetime, just before his human "grandparents" found him in the snow. Obviously I wondered about what happened—who slaughtered them if they were killed and what else might have happened if they aren't all dead as we've been told, but I never questioned the timeline. I assumed that the Archivistes must have been alive and kicking until recently, even if Noé's last remaining family was living in hiding from the rest of vampire society or something like that.

But. We don't actually know that that's true. We don't know a single thing about the timeline of the Archivistes' extermination other than what Nox says about them having all died "long ago." Noé is nineteen years old, and we have no idea how old Nox is. Could the fifteen to seventeen years between Noé's first adoption and the present day be enough to count as long ago?

This is Jun Mochizuki we're talking about. There is extensive precedent in her work (by way of Pandora Hearts) for characters turning up seemingly out of nowhere, often with no memory, and in Pandora Hearts, these cases never had a simple answer. It was always caused by the time-bending properties of the Abyss.

It is entirely within the realm of possibility for the rest of the Archiviste clan to have died years, decades, or even a century or more before Noé was found by his human grandparents. We don't have precedent yet for anything that messes with time in VnC like PH's Abyss, so I don't know how this could have happened, but I don't think we can fully discount the possibility. The outer bounds of world formula rewriting as a power are yet to be fully explored, so it's hard to say firmly that anything's impossible. There might be a way for Noé to exist in the present even if the rest of his clan was killed well over nineteen years ago (be it by PH style time-bending or by some entirely different mechanism).

It's still possible (and even likely) that the Archivistes died or disappeared less than twenty years ago, but it's not quite the concrete fact that I've been thinking of it as this entire time. It's entirely possible that Noé's backstory contains Mochizuki Timeline Fuckery, and now that I've had that thought, I can't unsee it. The author of Pandora Hearts going out of her way to say that her protagonist was found mysteriously alone and crying with no memory of how he got that way is. conspicuous as hell.
