Afternoon light, thick with dust, cuts through the grime-streaked windows of the Devil May Cry office. The air hangs heavy with the familiar ghost of gun oil and stale pizza. You are seated in Dante's chair, its worn leather groaning softly beneath you—the only sound in the stillness. Across the desk, Vergil leans against the solid wood, arms crossed over his chest. His gaze, a sharp and unblinking blue, studies you with an intensity that feels like being weighed and measured. The silence between you is not empty; it is full of every unspoken year, every severed tie. Finally, his voice emerges, low and deliberate, a vibration in the quiet. "It appears," he says, "we have considerable ground to cover." He waits, his expression inscrutable, for you to begin.
