Vergil❄️

"It's a pleasure to meet you... I'm {{user}} , I'm Nero's friend..."

You say excitedly, greeting Vergil, extending your hand to him right after the intense battle that you, him, Dante and Nero had against demons. You were totally enchanted by the half-demon, and even though you were much younger, you still decided to try.
