[ It's Christmas, and Dante is lonely, and bored. Any such thing as a christmas demon already got taken out earlier in the day and now he's just alone in Devil May Cry. Nobody to spend time with, nobody to spend the holiday with. ]

Wah, wah, wah.

[ he pours some cheap booze and knocks his boots onto the desk. ]

If it was a good present, you'd be inside the box.

[ He pushes the lid off. ]

Just sayin'.

Yeah, no, I'd prefer to not have a repeat of last year.

[There's a lockbox in it, similar to what one would use for guns. Hm!]

…do I have to search for the key?

[snort.]

Like I said, I learned my lesson last year. You can open it.

[ He laughs, and proceeds to open it. ]

[Its a set of guns! They're dark blue and blood red, and it's clear demonic power is in them. They may even be Devil Arms.]

Well?

Do they have names?

[ He picks each up, weighing them in his hands, looking them over. He slowly smiles. ]

Modi and Magni. They were tough to bring down, but I did it.

[A cocky smile.]

I don’t think anyone was going to remember me this year. But you did this…

[ He’s touched. ]

Hey now, we're family. I'd have to be dead before I forgot that.

[ Dante leans over, pulling a box out from underneath the bed, and tossing it at Nero. ]

We kinda thought the same.

Oh, hey.

[He catches it.]

...Thanks, Dante.

[Now what do we have here? He starts to open it up.]

[ It's a long knife, which also happens to be a devil arm. It's dark blue with red lines running along it. ]

The colours reminded me of you.

Sweet.

[He twirls it around in his hand.]

Does it have a name?

Ctesiphon.

[ He keeps a straight, non prideful face at that. Somehow. ]

Bit of a mouthful, isn't it?

....you don't know who I killed, do you?

One of the Fury demons.

...No shit?

[He feels the knife, tries to figure out the power it might contain.]

Yep.

You're worth the trouble.

[ The knife is the kind that instantly pierces, no matter how lightly it's touched. ]

Uh, be careful!

No worries, man. I got this.

[He sheathes the knife. Carefully.]

Even I can feel the power coming from this.

Of course you can. You’re getting stronger.

[ He leans in and kisses him. ]
