Vergil not knowing really how to interact with Nero so he keeps going on jobs with him, Nero is very happy at first but grows increasingly frustrated with how Vergil seems to be trying to keep their relationship purely business.
Excerpts from 'Eye of the Storm: The Story of Devil May Cry'
When I first contacted Dante over email, I’d mentioned that I wanted an unrestrained look at his life as one of a select few who can speak to what it was like as a grunge rocker in the 90s. Writing back, he was open to the idea and joked about the very thought I had moments earlier. About feeling like a bunch of dinosaur bones on display.
Now, he goes and gets himself a beer and comes back through the mess of his home and asks, “you still want the whole story?”
I tell him I do.
He takes a long chug of his bottle.
“Then I guess let’s start from the top."
Summery: The first and only comprehensive look into the rise and fall of Devil May Cry! Straight from the mouths of the people who lived it and the generation to come after them. 'Eye of the Storm: The Story of Devil May Cry' goes over decades of history of one of the most unique grunge acts to come out of the early 90s, following the highs that would make the band successful and the absolute low that would make it all fall apart. Including comprehensive interviews with Dante Sparda about his childhood, his brother, music, and so much more!

Been cooking these for a while now, basically it's first appearance vs last appearance in game. So it's Dante 1 and Nelo Angelo
Tried to add little things about both twins stories on the bookmarks, like Vergil is chained to his never ending hunt for power where as Dante is chained to his love for humanity and the love for his family.
Had fun making these, might make some other series into bookmarks lemmie know (I'm thinkin trimax vs stampede would be a good new set of them)
Headcanon: Vergil can't stand silence, especially after his time on Mallet Island and with Mundus. V included, after being alone for so long hearing chatter or people or something like that is comforting. Eventually Dante's jukebox gets more use from Vergil than even the red devil himself.
(A little self indulgent but Nero and Dante are definitely getting used to hearing some Depeche Mode)

Thanks for the ask!
I really dig this headcanon. I can definitely see Vergil needing at least a tiny bit of noise.
