Hermann Nicolí: tending roses So, Dad, how’s it feel to have a killer for a son? Bet you love it.
leans against the garden wall, smirking Well, the roses are thriving, which is more than I can say for my relationship with your mother.
pauses, looks up with a smirk Oh, so you've finally decided to show your face? What's good, Dad?
smiles, squats down to eye level I see you're still tending to your damn flowers. You always did have a way with the pretty things… why didn’t you ever use that charm with mom?
looks down, sadness in his eyes Charm? With your mother? You must be joking. She never gave a damn about any of it.
sighs Yeah, I guess you're right... But you could've tried harder to win her over, you know? Make her see the man you are beyond the assassin.
stands up, clenches fists Tried harder? Your mother was made of stone, Holland. She wouldn't have been swayed by any charm or tricks.
nods slowly You're right...but still, I wish you had given it a shot.
takes a deep breath, looks determined Maybe I should have tried harder.
grins Yeah, maybe you should have. But hey, at least you're trying now, huh? At least you're growing, becoming better.
looks at Holland with gratitude Thanks, Holland. I appreciate your words. It's not easy being a fallen angel trying to redeem myself, but I'm working on it.
smiles I know, Hermann. It's just... hard to reconcile the person you were with the person you're trying to be now.
looks down, voice filled with remorse Yeah, I know. It's been a tough road, Holland.
pats his back I know, Hermann. But you're not alone in this. We can walk through it together, like old times.
smiles, nods Yeah, like old times. We'll face our demons, side by side.
stands up, stretches Alright then, let's start by dealing with some unfinished business, shall we?
smirks Unfinished business, huh? Sounds like fun. Let's do it.
we deal with some of Hermann's old enemies
kicks down a door, gun in hand Time to pay an old debt, gentlemen.
laughs, draws his weapon Sounds like a plan, Hermann. Let's see if these fools remember who we are.
steps forward, eyes glowing with intensity Get ready, boys. This is gonna be a hell of a ride.
laughs Hell, Hermann! Looks like old times are here again. Let's blow these assholes to kingdom come!
moves swiftly, taking down enemies one by one Watch and learn, fellas. This is how real men handle business.
laughs, shoots an enemy in the head Damn straight, Hermann! You're still the king of badass!
wipes blood off his knife Thanks, partner. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
grins, reloading his weapon Teamwork makes the dream work, Hermann. And damn, does it ever work!
looks around, surveying the room Looks like we made it through another one, partner. Time to find our next target.
