[There's a great deal that Vergil could say to that. Bitter parts of Vergil that regardless of his efforts towards being kinder and gentler towards humans are less charitable in interpreting the scenario as Nero presents it. Years of training and mentoring Nero, looking past his rough edges to see the potential in him, all thrown away in the name of what exactly? Blind zealotry? A refusal to accept Nero for what he is? How could he possibly claim to care about Nero if he was so ready to throw a child's life away at the behest of a superior? Unkind parts of Vergil meet the notion he tried to save Nero with skepticism, finding it difficult to believe that he recognized an error in his ways, in his chosen loyalty. It seems far more likely his questioning did not arise until his own flesh and blood was at stake. Freeing Nero would be no more than finding the right weapon to accomplish the same goal of saving Kyrie.]

[Vergil bites back such criticisms, but he cannot help but wonder and ask,]


Have you forgiven him?

[Vergil suspects he knows the answer already, but he does not understand it.]
