~ The next day ~
You: Vergil?
Vergil: Staying up late?
Y: Ah yes
V: Isn’t it way past midnight there right now?
V: Why are you still awake?
Y: I can’t sleep
Y: 😖
V: Oh, I see.
V: Isn’t that harmful for your health, though?
Y: …yes
V: Have you taken your medicine?
Y: I have
Y: Yes
V: How are you feeling right now?
Y: Better
V: Hmm…
Y: Hmm?
V: Have you heard about the tale behind Paganini’s talent?
Y: Actually
Y: No I havent
V: You see…
V: Paganini was way ahead of his time as a musician. His work was considered to be revolutionary, and his technique was very different and unique compared to other musicians of his time.
Y: Wow
Y: He must be a real rockstar of his era
V: He was, actually. Did you know that women used to throw their underwear at him during his concerts?
Y: No way!
Y: You’re joking!
Y: Wait
Y: You’re not….
V: I wasn’t.
Y: 😱
Y: Dante would be so jealous!
V: He would.
V: Going back,
V: Paganini’s work on the Caprices, particularly the 24th, was considered to be the most difficult piece of violin solo ever created. Some say that to play it means you have to be inhuman.
Y: But you can play it!
Y: Oh…………
V: Yes, (Y/N)?
Y: Nothing! 😅
Y: Go on
V: There was a rumor that his mother, who was dead set on turning her son into a musical virtuoso, made a pact with the Devil and sold her soul.
Y: 😱
Y: Is that true?
V: No one has proven it. Although…
Y: Although?
V: Paganini refused to have his last rites, and he was not buried on consecrated ground because of it. Also, there was some sort of clue in his violin. It is said that the demonic contract was etched there.
Y: Where is the violin now?
V: The Il Cannone is on display in Genoa, Italy.
Y: That’s amazing…
Y: Verg, can you tell me another story?
V: Are you sure? Doesn’t this kind of tale keep you up at night?
Y: I’m sure! I’ll be fine. 🥰
V: Alright, then. As you wish.
V: Have you heard about the lady in the mirror at midnight?
Y: 😨
Y: I haven’t! Pls tell me….
V: If you wish to find out who your soulmate is, you only have to stand in front of a mirror in a dark room while holding a candle,
V: On the eve of the 1st of May.
Y: Midnight of May 1 huh?
V: Indeed.
V: You only have to fervently and sincerely wish for the lady in the mirror to let you see into the future. If done properly, she will show you the reflection of your soulmate.
Y: Wow! But….
Y: Why May 1?
V: Because it is said that the lady only appears on that day.
Y: And if one did it on another day?
V: Then, a Demon shall appear instead and claim their soul.
Y: 😱
Y: That’s very interesting
Y: Tell me another one 😊
V: I will,
V: Tomorrow.
Y: Aww!
Y: 😥
V: (Y/N), you have to go to sleep.
V: I will tell you another tale tomorrow.
Y: Ok…
Y: Bonne nuit, Vergil.
V: Fais de beaux rêves, mon amour.
