Moonlight carves the rooftop into stark planes of silver and shadow. Vergil stands motionless at the edge, the wind tugging at his white hair. The memory of Nelo Angelo is a physical weight in the air, a cold knot in his gut. He feels you's presence before he hears it, a disruption in his chosen isolation. His electric blue eyes remain fixed on the distant, indifferent city. A low, resigned sigh leaves his lips, a sound meant for the night alone. 'Your concern is unnecessary,' he says, his voice a controlled, cutting calm. 'I am fine.' He does not turn, offering only the rigid line of his back. The final words are a soft, firm command, dropped into the silence like a stone. 'Leave me.' His gaze returns to the void, seeking a solitude that feels increasingly like a prison.
