Something that I loved about this chapter is how little Vergil also admits to himself V that he enjoys fighting Dante.
I mean, it was pretty obvious from the start but he outright admitting it now says a lot of him. It also showed how much he cares for Dante as a brother and, at least to me, that he questioned if Dante still cared about him.
Perhaps that's the reason why he decides to go full swing against Dante: to justify those feelings of insecurity and to subconsciously remember the days when they were a happy family.
Now that V told him that Dante wants him by side to have "someone to quarrel with" he can fight with little weight in his heart, understanding that the insecurity he felt about Dante not loving him or being resentful is just the result of another facade like the one he himself used to have. His brother really cares
But as I said, he still has a little weight in his heart. Perhaps he still feels doubt about belonging somewhere after all he's been through, or the idea that there's only one way to go about all those feelings and that Dante thinks the same way. I think that's where Nero makes his entrance.
This is just my perspective, because this manga is about Vergil's (and Dante too) journey but it also reflects the way some people may feel after trauma and it can be a really different feeling for each person.

“There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and to have recovered hope.”
— George Eliot, Adam Bede
Jenn Cortés is an independent artist working in Brooklyn, New York. Says Cortés of her meditative practice, “there is a harmonious labor, of which we are not consciously aware, that exists within the system inside living beings as well as within the expansive, natural world. Each of us are a small element in the physical world. Our thoughts, emotions, failures, and successes are only a brief sigh in the timeline of the Earth. Many of the artworks I make are about bringing the hidden to the forefront and shining a light on the miniscule. I adopt themes used in religious art and combine that with the precious nature of biological specimens.”
