After being freed from Mundus' control and being rescued from Mallet island, Dominic was taken to Devil May Cry to heal his wounds and rest. Upon awakening he was horrified at what he had become, what was done to him and what he has done as his time as Nelo Angelo. During his time recuperating he became distant from others and refuses help from anyone.
Dominic:*wakes up*
Dominic struggles to even stand up as he uses the dresser and wall as support to go to the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror and gazes at his disfigurement appearance
Though it was a few weeks ago the trauma was still there. He washes his face in yet another attempt to wash it all away but no matter how much he scrubs it'll be there.
Dominic:*panting* Damn...! Damn! Damn! Damn!
Dominic dried his face and made the attempt to go down the stairs. He took his time and went down slowly but on the last few steps his legs got weak and he fell and hit the ground hard, spitting out blood
Dante:*comes out* Oh shit! Dude are you okay?!
Dominic: Ngh..no!
Dante: Let me help-
Dominic: No! Go away! It's your fault I'm like this! Leave me....
The words that came from his brothers mouth pierced him harder than any sword and any bullet. He watched as his brother struggled to stand up using the desk for leverage.
Dominic:*grunting* Grr....hnnn...gh!
Dominic fell on the floor and vomited, clutching his stomach in pain and shed a tear, fearing his life could end after all he had done. Going to hell again scared the teen but he hid his pain and got up and sat on the chair
Dante: I'll clean that...
Dante grabs a mop and cleans up the vomit on the floor, keeping his eye on the ground as Dominic looked at his twin and turned the chair around and faces the wall
Timeskip
Patty was watching TV as Morrison came in with a cane. He patted the young girl on the head and went to Dominic's desk
Morrison: Here kid. This'll help you walk better
Dominic: How embarrassing. I of all people need a walking stick...
Morrison: Yeah..well that tends to happen when you come back from the dead. It's got a nice little sword in it. Dante said you love katana's so there. His present to you.
Morrison chuckles and looks around the shop
Morrison: So, when are you gonna go into the family business?
Dominic: Never. It's a waste of my time...
Morrison: Well ya see, it looks like your brother needs some help with his bills. And young little miss Patty here is too young to get a job. It'd be nice if the other white haired half demon got a job.
