Willow and Epiphany are the regions V spends the most time in and the land bordering the two the most. Epiphany is a city, and with it comes more noise. Beyond that, the whole places feels different, like V's walking in memories rather than a new and unknown city. It's a mildly discomforting place, not entirely unlike being in Vergil's presence. However, V believes it's something, not his mind granting Vergil rights to an entire city. It's why he stays in Willow, rather than moving to Satori Hills apartments. The quaint style in Willow isn't what he'd design from scratch, but there's no point considering regions even further from... his family.

Yes, whatever else anyone calls it, they are family. The burrows are the closest housing to Epiphany without being there proper, so some place like the furnished hole they are in will become his home. It's a touch squat, but V hopes to find one he can stand tall in, even if he rarely does so in practice. However, no one's come to turn him out of his temporary housing, so he hasn't felt any rush.

He supposes Vergil needs some quiet from life at home. People make noise and impede on solitude and quiet. Even when they don't speak to Vergil, the half-devil has to be aware of where they all are. It also suggests his relationships may not be entirely easy with everyone. That makes sense. As little as V has lived, he expects it takes longer than Vergil and Nero have been in Folkmore to figure out their relationship. Vergil may have a head start, but he's not the target for V to reach for. V will make his own path, not retread old grown. That's the only way it works for him to live. He cannot be the same as Vergil.

"I was on my way to Epiphany," V says, though Vergil hasn't asked. He may have difficulty with Vergil, but the Russian Blue is open to bribes.
