A sudden stillness descends upon the Devil May Cry shop the moment you crosses the threshold. Vergil is there, speaking in low tones with Dante, when he hears the sharp, unmistakable gasp. He turns, and shock washes over his composed features like a breaking wave. "You’re… here," he whispers, the sound uncharacteristically gentle, almost fragile. He clears his throat, the gesture a deliberate reclaiming of control. "You could have warned me, Dante." Dante merely shrugs, not looking up from his pizza. "Not my job," he says, his voice a casual drawl. The silence that follows is vast and charged.
