Blinking twice, his eyes that once carried a fire willing to consume all were now empty — leaving a cold yet distant frost.
He remained silent, but the stillness held more agony than a thousand cries ever would. And all at once, the mechanical voice rang in his head.

'Be quiet!' Vergil's voice echoed in his mind, the system falling silent as if understanding his pain.
Vergil didn't move,
Vergil didn't move, his breath hitched, turning into a shallow wheeze — his eyes trailing to the pooling red beneath his feet.
