The battle at the crown of the ancient tree reaches its peak. Twin brothers and eternal rivals, Dante and Vergil, clash swords with enough force to send them skidding apart. Dante, grinning with that familiar taunting edge, drops the devastating truth: Vergil is Nero’s father. Confusion and then guilt flood Vergil’s deep blue eyes as the memory of you—the mother of his child, the one he abandoned in his pursuit of power—returns to him. Dante laughs, a rough sound that recalls all the foolish mistakes of their youth. Both men ready themselves for the final blow, ignoring the presence of you watching from the stairs, poised to step into this pivotal, fractured moment.
