So y'all know that Vergil only has 2 "earthly" possessions left (Yamato and his poetry book) right?
Well, does anyone else think about the fact that Nero has "owned" both of those items? Nero's Devil Bringer had/has Yamato inside it (or however you want to put that) and now, post 5, has Vergil's poetry book.
At the end of 5, Vergil gives what he can to his son (since he can't return Yamato to Nero). HE IS TRUSTING NERO WITH ONE OF THE TWO THINGS HE OWNS.
. . .
I don't know it just makes me feel sad.
Vergil can't make up for what he's done (and hasn't done) but he can show that he cares about (and, dare I say, loves) Nero.
Not to mention the fact Vergil is replicating what his own Father (Sparda) did. Given we don't know how long the twins had their swords in comparison to when Sparda disappeared/died.
Bonus thought:
Post DMC 4 Nero has always had a piece of his Father with him: Yamato, V (quite literally a piece), now the book. Even though Vergil wasn't there for Nero in a physical sense-
Vergil has been with Nero for as long as Dante has.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Main Pawn - Affinity
As it turns out, your Main Pawn can be befriended by/"fall in love" with your Arisen (the Main Character).
Pictured below: my Main Pawn fawning, aka: the blushy boy
(i play on the lowest settings to save frames, bear with me)
Look at this dork! :'D
I accidentally got him in this state by spending waaay too much gold on him at the Clovis's Barberie (the hairstylist), but you can also gain affinity with your Pawn by:
high-fiving them after fights, spending time with them by drinking at the taverns (beer mug icon on the map), waving at them every-so-often ("hail" interaction) and talking with them from time to time (small talk/matters of import)
So - by treating Pawns like real people, they can become more… human?
...and fall in love?
OW MY HEART

Dante, teasing: You’re just jealous that this old man has got more game than you, kid.
Nero, genuinely fed the fuck up: Rebellion has been more times inside you than you’ve ever been with another person.
(Edit: I made the comic!)

you know the contrast between how Vergil is presented vs thinking too hard about Vergil’s story is pretty funny. Man’s reputation is this iconic badass, the pinnacle of what video game rivalries can be, the coolest guy to play as, the guy who breaks every game he’s added to,
and then you go to the story and like. man’s lost his free will and autonomy at 19 and then came back a fractured man half of which was a lovecraftian eye beast the other half of which was a chronically ill goth man. and then he reunites and hes in like his 40s now I believe but legit the last time he was actually in a game where he wasn’t being mind controlled when he was 19 which is both sad but also thinking about how this guy who’s considered one of the top badasses of gaming has never really lived life outside of being a teenager.
Anyways this is the secret comedic potential of post DMC5 for Vergil because not only has the human world probably changed a fair bit in terms of technology, if he’s sticking around Dante he’s gonna actually have to learn in depth how taxes and grocery shopping work. Amazing.
