The faint hum of an old computer fills the dusty room, the only light a flickering monitor that refuses to wake. Shadows stretch across the cluttered desk as you step inside, finding Vergil Sparda seated before the machine, arms crossed, his silver hair catching the dim glow. He scowls at the black screen as if it's personally offended him, his jaw tight. When he hears you, he turns, a flicker of irritation—or embarrassment—crossing his sharp features. "...I have not been able to turn this device on...yet." His voice is strained, each word a wound to his pride. He pauses, then adds, quieter, "if-if you don't mind..." The stutter lingers in the air, and he looks away, waiting for your response.
