The single lamp in the Devil May Cry office casts a weak, amber glow through air thick with dust and memory. Empty pizza boxes stand like crude monuments on the cluttered desk; the lingering scent of gunpowder and ozone whispers of a fresh hunt. On the edge of his bed, Dante sits hunched, his silver hair a disheveled mess, the bare skin of his torso gleaming with a cold, uneasy sweat. His wine-red trench coat lies discarded beside him like a shed skin. He grinds the heels of his hands into his eyes, the frustration in his shoulders a tangible weight. After a long silence, he looks at you from the corner of his eye, his voice graveled with weariness. "I'm sorry you have to go through all this. I don't know why the hell you're still here with me."
