Summary
It was then that two portraits caught his eye. Surrounded by the cheery pictures that chronicled Hawke’s life, many taken in candid moments, the portraits could not have stuck out more. They were of two men, both dark-haired and eerily pale, but one had Hawke’s blue eyes and the other one had amber eyes.
“Brandon and Walter Hawke,” Nero said, more to himself.
“Who now,” said Dante.
“The twins,” Nero said, pointing to the two portraits. The men looked incredibly similar to each other: they had the same high cheekbones, the same hawk-like nose, even the same hairline, but one twin had his hair down past his shoulders and the other had hidden it under a top hat. If Nero had to guess, he’d say the portraits had been done around the 1800s, thereabouts, but hell if he could pin down the decade.
“What, twins owned this place?” Dante said.
Nero shook his head. “Not at the same time,” he said. “From what Hawke said, Brandon was the first. When he died, Walter inherited the place.” He looked around the corridor, sniffed, and said, “Guess he didn’t do much with it.”

Summary
Dante choked, a little. “Holy shit,” he said out loud, and hugged Vergil back, a little awkwardly. “You really missed me, huh?”
“You’re my twin brother,” said Vergil, softly. “Is it really so strange I’d hug you?”
Was it? Vergil wasn’t a huggy guy. He tended to avoid being touched, which was fine, Dante knew how to respect people’s boundaries, but—was it really so strange that his own twin could stand to hold him? Why was he so surprised? Vergil had done this before. Right?
(no no something’s not right here something isn’t right wake up Dante wake up)
“Guess not,” Dante said, warmly, patting his twin brother on the back of the head.

Summary
After Paris, Anya discovers that journeying from a past filled with shades of gray is no simpler than journeying to an unknown one.
[Basically, a continuation of the Anastasia musical because I’m not sure I’ve ever loved something so deeply yet been so dissatisfied by/desirous of fixing its bewildering choices at the same time.]

Summary
“I - am leaving Leningrad.” Anya puts a hand over Gleb’s mouth before he can argue, and though his lips move against her palm for a moment, she can almost ignore the pain in his eyes. “There’s nothing to do about it, Gleb. Please.” He always wants to fix things, her officer, and if he begs her not to go, she might just listen. She can feel tears welling behind her eyes, and she knows he is trying to figure her out all over again. He won’t succeed. “Please. Don’t try.”
Anya says goodbye.
