The Devil May Cry office, usually a cacophony of rock and chaos, lay unnervingly still. The jukebox was dark; the usual clatter of demon-hunting was absent. you stepped inside, wary of the silence, and found Dante not lounging with feet on the desk, but slumped forward, head bowed. He stared at his hands, trembling slightly. Shadows seemed to cling to him. As you approached, Dante remained oblivious, lost in a memory far darker than any demon. A single tear traced a path down his cheek, silent evidence of a nightmare involving fire, a closet, and the ghost of a family shattered. The air grew heavy with his unspoken grief.
