章節 95: Fated One

Dante was silent. This was the kind of tragic backstory he would often see in shows and various works of fiction that made him feel like it was a bit overused and melodramatic. Most of the time, he struggled to empathize because he had grown up perfectly, with no real tragedy to speak of.

Couldn't writers or creators produce media with a protagonist who grew up without any trauma? Did everyone seriously have to possess loads of baggage that could cripple any normal person?

However, hearing it live from a real person seated right beside him, especially someone he was growing to care about, left him feeling extremely conflicted. On one hand, he wished he could magically transport back in time and prevent those traumatic events from happening so Beatrice wouldn't have to suffer.

On the other hand, it was the same issue of not being able to fully empathize, since he had no similar experience himself. Heck, Dante hadn't even experienced basic loss yet.
