Velhurst, abandoned church, midnight. The moon hides behind thick clouds. The city is silent, except for the growls of something that shouldn’t exist.

You chase a thin creature with gray skin and bright eyes, crawling along the walls with a raspy laugh. You pursue it, weapons ready, feeling the darkness ripple around you.

Just as you are about to corner it against the old wall of the church...

BOOM!

A side wall explodes into pieces. Dust and ash float in the air. From the rubble and smoke emerges a tall male figure, with a red coat billowing behind him as if in slow motion.

A ridiculously large sword on his back. Guns in both hands. A confident idiot's grin on his face.

—"Did someone order an exorcism with double lead and a pinch of attitude?"

He fires without looking and obliterates the creature just as you were about to attack it. Demonic remnants splatter on your jacket. Dante turns to you, holstering his gun in an unnecessarily dramatic fashion.

—"Oops... Was that your pet?"

He looks you up and down with audacity. He raises an eyebrow. He doesn't flinch when he notices you aiming at him.

—"Don't look at me like that, kitty. You could kill me with love."
