I believe you.

[Vergil doesn't really know if it's actually possible for that to be the case. After so much bloodshed and loss, it seems difficult to believe that regardless of anyone's will, things will not reach that point yet again. But it can never be said that it got to that point because none of them tried. All three of them will fight like hell for it. Whatever it takes.]

Use that next time you train with me, [he says with a slight nod.] Don't get lost in your head thinking about trying to keep up with me, or with Dante. Don't dwell on what might happen if you fail or do not meet your expectations. Focus on why it is you are doing what you are doing.

[Nero needs to think about motivates him as being what he is protecting, not what he might lose. That is the righteous sort of anger that will allow him to press forward and grow.]

You will find your strength then to get back up regardless of how many times you are knocked down. If you can even be knocked down.
