Summary
Vergil sighed through his nose.
“What’s wrong with you?” Dante asked. Vergil could’ve sworn he was dead asleep.
“From Storm, by Hildeguard Flanner,” Vergil said, looking back down at the folder in his lap,
And there the monster rages and proclaims
That he was god before all other gods were born“Had I read the poem before we went to Hell, I could’ve said that directly to Mundus,” Vergil said, “can you imagine his face?”
Dante laughed. He looked up from where he had his head cushioned on his arms. “Bro, I would pay good money to watch you say that to his face. Wanna go resurrect him just to see?”
He means that, Vergil thought, he legitimately means that.

Vergil adjusts.

Summary
He always imagined a daughter. She would have his father’s white hair and milky blue eyes, but she would have Morgan’s face; maybe she would have Vergil’s frown; maybe she would have Morgan’s sly little smile.
Nonsensically, he hoped she was taller than he was; she would get crap for it, but maybe that meant that immature men who couldn’t see the power in her frame wouldn’t attempt to use her. He hoped she was shorter than he was; that when she came to him scared for comfort, she would fit perfectly in his arms and be reassured.
Occasionally he entertained himself between fits of torture by attempting to name her. Maybe Antigone, who guided her blind father until his death. Maybe something honoring Kundalakesi, who killed her husband who tried to kill her. Or maybe Hel, or something like it, who will bring the end of the world.
Vergil never once imagined he would have a son.
