Honestly I’ve seen several theories now that suggest Sarah is only Graf von Krolock’s dinner and I just don’t 100% buy it. Like if all he wanted was to eat, he could just drain her and be done with it, but he leaves her alive afterwards and she’s still like his principal dance partner. Plus all of the “eternity begins tonight” lyrics?? I fully believe she’s supposed to be part of his collection. Is she the next countess though? Absolutely not. Did he capitalize on her romantic attraction to him to get her to do things? Oh fuck yeah, that’s what vampires do.

Keeping in mind this perception comes from the Drew Sarich/Amélie Dobler production, maybe this is treated differently depending on the cast and their chemistry.
