OMG, thank YOU!!!! I am so glad it worked! Hojo being creepily "affectionate" out of the sheer pleasure of having such a perfect subject to work on just... made this write itself. Just his disgusting gloating glee.
And you picked my favorite line to love the best, too! That was so wonderfully awful to write, because on the one hand, hey, Turks disappear in the line of duty, all the time... but also, Hojo (the bastard) twisting the knife that, very specifically, Lucrecia won't miss him. (And, um, I had felt bad that I didn't get any gaslighting/mindfuck into the fic, but writing this, I realized that I potentially did, depending on what the reader wants to imagine of Vincent and Lucrecia's relationship in this 'verse. Whew!) Thank you for the messed up prompt, it was an awesome chance for character study!
