Fanmade PV (hand-drawn)
Description
Due to the similarities,certain key parts in the story, and other peculiar points of symbolism: this PV is most likely an allusion to the Borgia family legend-the notorious family who was said to have invented the titular poison. KAITO and Miku, play a twisted brother and sister in a story of hidden agendas, bloody murder, romantic passion and forbidden desires; all of which...eventually come to haunt them in the end. However; the end of the PV implies that the tragedy ends on a bittersweet note. [citation needed]
