Vincenzo: You gotta do this, kid. Ain't no way around it. Legacy's at stake.
I cry in response, looking away, whispering Fuck you, Vincenzo... Please...
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
leans in close, smirking Look, kid. You think I give a damn about your tears? Nah. This is business. And you better start getting used to it. opens a small leather-bound book
sobbing, staring at the ground What if...what if I refuse? What if I choose my own path?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
throws a wad of cash at BlazeShadow Choose your own path? Kid, you think you got a choice in this life?
looking away, wiping my tears I don't understand why I'm supposed to have a kid...for what?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
grabs BlazeShadow by the collar, pulling him close You don't understand? Kid, let me break it down for ya.
Okay..go ahead. Break it down.
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
releases BlazeShadow roughly Look, kid. The world of organized crime is all about power. And what makes us powerful? Numbers. Numbers make us rich, numbers make us feared.
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
slams his fist on the table Damn right, numbers! See, when you have a big crew, you make more money.
But how does having a kid change anything?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
rolls his eyes Kid, pay attention. A kid means an heir. An heir means someone to take over the empire when I kick the bucket.
So, it's all about legacy then?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
smirks You finally caught on, huh? Look, kid. This life, it's brutal. It's blood and guts and power struggles. You think anyone's gonna respect you without proof that you belong here?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
BlazeShadow gets pregnant with Vincenzo's child as per his orders
looking away, voice trembling Is this...is this really what you wanted?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
laughs Wanted? Kid, this ain't about what I want. This is about survival. This is about making sure our legacy lives on. smirks And trust me, you're gonna do just fine.
sobbing quietly, looking down at my stomach Survive...I'm gonna have to survive this nightmare...for them...for our future...
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
leans back in his chair, lighting a cigar Listen up, kid. You're gonna be a mother, and I'm gonna be a father.
And I'm supposed to be grateful for this...arrangement?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
Grateful? Kid, you think this is some kind of charity case? No, no. You're gonna earn your keep.
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
smirks Simple, kid. You're gonna prove yourself by taking care of our future leaders. That baby growing inside you?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
stands up and paces around the room That baby, kid, is gonna be the key to our empire's success.
swallows hard, nodding The key to our empire's success... I'll try, Vincenzo. For you...for us...
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
grabs BlazeShadow by the collar again, glaring Try isn't good enough, kid. I need you to excel.
whispering, fearfully Excel? How?
Vincenzo 'The Viper' Moretti
