[What relief Vergil may feel that Nero finally appears to be backing down from continuing any further is sapped away by Nero's subsequent outburst. He's not disappointed by the display of anger, but rather concerned over it. While he does not know Nero's exact thoughts, he can take an educated guess at what they may be.]
[It's perhaps not particularly advisable to approach Nero right now. In fact, Vergil hesitates a moment before doing so, wondering if the best thing to do is interpret the steps away as his implicit request for space. But his concerns outweigh everything else, the ache he feels in his chest at seeing his child struggling in a way he had yet to witness until now leading him to walk past Red Queen in the dirt and through the additional paces. Vergil says his name again, much softer this time, before he reaches out to try and place a hand on his shoulder, attempting to pull him in for a tight embrace.]
[If he's rebuffed, so be it. Vergil thinks it far worse to just stand there passively observing Nero as he is now. He'll only try again one more time in that instance before giving up on it albeit remaining close by.]
