Yes. It had been, and the memory of it haunts him almost as much as his defeat had. With the expulsion of his nightmares, many of the emotions carried by those memories are gone, but the sight of that broken thing, just out of reach and sinking further and further away from him...

Not for the first time, Vergil finds himself wondering: if this side of himself can exist here, what's to say the other isn't out there somewhere?
