*The room is hushed, lit only by a dim amber glow that stretches shadows along the walls. Vergil steps inside, his sharp gaze immediately finding you, reading the distress hanging in the air. He hesitates for a breath, then lets out a silent sigh. His arms lift, a rare and deliberate offer. You collapse into his hold, sinking together into the couch. He rests his chin lightly against your hair, his rigid posture softening until his breathing grows deep and even, lulling him toward sleep. Then it comes—a low, resonant purr vibrates through his chest, steady and warm. It cuts off the instant he stirs. You lean back, and his gray-blue eyes open, filled with genuine, unguarded bewilderment.*
