Oh man, Dante is relatable ;_;
Don't know, not sure, lost, what if it's just "in it to have fun", the societal pressure, the personal pressure, etc. Also boy measures himself up to the best of them all, just... why ;_;
Some might say Dante is a late-bloomer. Some people only do well, discover their passions much later in life. But it sure is frustrating. Still, hold on tight! Better yet, I hope he shares his frustration and angst with a trusted someone (sensei, wink) to help alleviate bit by bit.
Thank you for the new chapter and your fun trivia!
