0:14 Dettlaff composing himself before he meets the girl he loves. Almost like how we adjust our shirts and look in the mirror to make sure are hair is looking good before a date.
Holy hell...considering that Dettlaff experiences emotions far stronger than any human’s, considering that he almost lost control when an arrogant noble treated him like dirt, the fact that he managed to restrain himself without the slightest sign of transformation when his whole world was crumbling around him - that takes willpower.
I can see why people sympathise with Syanna, as well as hate her. I can see why people have the same conflict with Dettlaff. But to have Syanna celebrating in the Witcher 10th Anniversary vid with all the heroes (and other questionables, Olgierd and the Baron admittedly...) it still feels grossly out of place given how sociopathically she acted with neither curse, nor suffering inflicted by the one she abused, as an excuse. No. She doesn’t deserve a happy ending at the end of the day.
Interesting how he wanted her to come to the one area where the only cage in the world built strong enough to restrain a raging higher vampire is kept. Maybe he was planning on locking himself within so the woman he loved could explain herself without worrying about ripping her apart?
Dettlaff is silent for such a long time, not only to think of everything he has just heard, but to give Syanna a possibility to proof all the accusations wrong, say something, anything. She doesn't, and this is the last proof for him that she'd really had him the worst way possible. I agree that to slaughter people in Beauclare was an awful decision (though there is also logic behind it), but what Syanna did to Dettlaff was a reason more than enough for him to kill her.
The stupidity of the sister and the incompetence and arrogance of the duchess are baffling, they provoked a being that can destroy the entire continent and thought they'll get away with it
