Act of Contrition
.Trish's interview.
Redemption isn't meant to be easy, especially when you're the offspring of a fallen lord of darkness. That's pretty much what I had to deal with for the short time I was born, by being trained, conditioned, and hardened to face that which I now serve willingly. I can't imagine what things would be like for me if I were still in that life, fighting for evil wherever there isn't trouble over land, sea, and…jeez, listen to me. It's been months since I've been here, and I'm already influenced by a Saturday night cartoon Dante's always watching.
…Dante? I don't think he minds that I'm here, taking cases that usually place us against my former employ. Sometimes, thought, it seems that he'd rather have me either dead or at least on my own. I often don't blame him. I mean, come on, I look identical to his mother, yet I planned his death from the moment we met. Every night by myself, I think of those words he said me, after he survived what was to be my trap, and his tomb…
"You have my mother's face, but not her fire!"
…the more I look at him into his eyes, the more I see the same fire that he so proudly announced of, making it hard for me to live with my past. A hard paradox this is, to love someone that I can't touch the way I want to, or even need to, because he refuses to see me in that way. I know that. I feel it. For all I know, it's possibly beyond the reasons clearly stated…but don't get me wrong, I'm not resorting to returning towards the underworld's side because of this. It's not worth losing the pure soul I feel that I have, or at least hinder my process of having one.
So again, the decision is made, as I hold the Sparda, one of our finest weaponry against the minions of Hell and its counterparts. So long as I am supported by my newest close friends, Dante, Donovan Blain, even Enzo *rolls eyes** , I'll fight with them until the end arrives. In the business of devil hunting, you never know when that will be…but I'll be damned again if it's without a fight...or Dante's love.
