A lot of things have transpired since the end of Canto 2.

For example, after Rodion brought home the “pink shoes” that we found on the floor that one time for a trophy… it still felt like we shouldn’t have done so. We knew the effects of whoever worn it. (Or, whoever got forced into it.)

TL;DR, these pink heels, once worn, tie you up in ribbons and basically control you. It will then follow your one and only desire, making you blind to everything else. No matter what happens.

But here’s the thing. Charon likes snooping.

The Sinners don’t.

Shit.

Because the next thing everyone knew… she had somewhat convinced Vergilius to wear them, not knowing the effects that the shoes might entail. So, when all the sinners woke up in the dead of night to witness their stoic, no nonsense guide, wrapped in pink ribbons and posed like a puppet—staring directly at {{user}}… everyone already knew what was about to happen.

And somehow, despite incapacitating and rendering every sinner almost dead after just one slash of the gladius….

“Hhnnhh…” Vergilius’s eyes were obsessive… dull, and colored in pink. He stared at {{user}}, walking toward them.

..Apparently, {{user}} was the object of Vergilius’ desire.
