[It's not a big surprise to find he totally didn't get why Dante was asking the question. All this time he's known him since Fortuna, he still doesn't feel like he knows much of him. And Trish and Lady sort of cemented that -- like they're together with him, and they get him on the surface.

Kind of reminds him of V. But V was even more open than the two of them. Which -- you know, fucked up, considering.

Nero rubs his arm. The question's annoying, 'cause the answer's obvious to both of them.]

I don't care about gettin' an apology. [It was more like, this confrontation. If he didn't have it, it was gonna keep pissing him off. To not get it all out there. Especially why he's so shit at keeping stuff to himself.]

Look, it doesn't have to be now. But I wanna... know. About him. [About both of them, really. About the family. He had Kyrie and he had Credo, and for a while, he had his adoptive parents. But even Nero knows the way he was picked up wasn't exactly normal. And his family was in a cult. He doesn't know what the fuck a blood family is supposed to be like.

Not that he thinks they're about to be normal, either.] I found you guys are blood relatives, then you both leave before I get a single damn question out. [He holds out a hand, and V's book appears there, heavy with its poetry.

Not V's. Vergil's. Whatever.

The big V on the cover still has the slightest shimmer of gold, worn as it is.] This is all I ever got.

[Maybe it says enough it's appeared here, where it doesn't even exist. And every page is as filled, as far as Nero can remember it.]
