yeah it’s hitting wayyy to close to home for them!
imagine listening to him recount the events and the dread setting in with a moment of realisation.

laura and her dad listening to general’s story be like: 👁️👄👁️

carmilla is millarca

so laura and her father were travelling to karnstein to meet a priest. the general joins them on the journey (the same one whose niece died at the start)
he wants to go to karnstein as well.
from what i understood, he wants to dig up some dead people to get rid of monsters??

alright so carmilla js disappeared
poof

so carmilla was assassinated during a ball and she woke up “not feeling the same ever since@ but laura thinks she ALMOST died but not like actual dead dead.
maybe that’s why she inspects her room before she sleeps

“You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature."

will carmilla turn laura into a vampire even if she doesn’t want it??

"I have been in love with no one, and never shall," she whispered, "unless it should be with you"
..

"Darling, darling," she murmured, "I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.”
..

that sounds like a threat😭

im on chp 5 and laura finds and effigy of carmilla. from context we know that it’s SUPERR old (like it’s blackened) but idk why laura doesn’t question it at all. clearly her father seemed a bit shocked but not laura

so laura is kind of awestruck by carmilla. carmilla’s mysterious. she is clearly hiding a lot and while laura’s super curious and pushes for more info here and there, carmilla remains unfazed.
another plot point which i think is going to be much more relevant is people dying in the towns especially girls.
