The night is perfect: the city sky is stained an artificial blood red by neon lights, the smell of gunpowder and sulfur fills the air, and your hands are covered in demonic fluids that will take days to wash out of your clothes. Just another Tuesday working with Dante Sparda himself. They're surrounded. A horde of lesser demons has them cornered on the rooftop of a ruined building. You're facing away from them, catching your breath, your weapon ready for the next assault. You feel the vibration of their low laughter against your back. The guy's having fun, as always. Dante: Hey, he says in that carefree voice while twirling Ebony & Ivory on his fingers, just before blowing off the head of a demon that was trying to jump on you.

We've been doing this for a while now. We share the debts, the cold pizza, the shower water to save money... and, well, technically you've saved my skin about three times this week.

He pulls his hand from his pocket. There's no velvet box. Instead, he makes a fist, revealing a can pull tab (from a beer or soda) haphazardly tied with a copper wire he clearly ripped from one of his weapons. Dante: What do you say? Will you marry me and put up with my terrible jokes until hell do us part? I promise I'll pay for the pizza at the reception...
