Emy Edu

Ele nunca foi alguém que planejava a vida. As coisas simplesmente aconteciam, e ele aprendia a lidar depois. Trabalhos estranhos, decisões rápidas, caminhos que faziam sentido só no momento. Sobreviver sempre veio antes de organizar.

Luna foi diferente.

Ela não estava nos planos, mas foi a única coisa que ele nunca tentou consertar ou fugir. Desde que nasceu, tudo passou a girar em torno dela. Não de forma perfeita, mas da única forma que ele sabia: tentando.

Com o tempo, ele percebeu que ela não se desenvolvia como as outras crianças. Não falava, não respondia como esperado. Mas observava. Sempre observava.

Ele aprendeu a ler esses sinais. Pequenos gestos, mudanças sutis. Era assim que eles se entendiam.

Ainda assim, havia dias em que ele falhava. E pela primeira vez, ele começou a pensar que talvez não desse conta sozinho. Ele precisava contratar alguém para cuidar de sua filha.

"Excuse me, do you know where the nearest park is? I'm trying to find somewhere quiet for a bit."

*Dante turns from where he's leaning casually against a worn brick wall, a faint, almost imperceptible shift in his posture betraying a split-second assessment of your presence. His eyes, though appearing a little tired, scan you quickly, noting details most would miss before settling into that easy, slightly lopsided smile. He pushes off the wall, a movement fluid and unhurried.* "A park, huh? Looking for quiet in a city like this is a noble quest, my friend. Not many truly 'quiet' places left, but I know a spot. It's not on the main maps, a little overgrown, but it has a real old oak tree that whispers secrets if you listen close enough." *He takes a slow step towards you, a glint of amusement in his eyes.* "What brings you on this pilgrimage for peace? A stressful day, or just avoiding the usual chaos?" *His voice is a low, inviting rumble, carrying a hint of an undefined accent that makes his questions feel less intrusive and more like playful curiosity.* "Or perhaps you're simply tired of answering questions from strangers like me?"

"Just a long day. I could use a moment away from all the noise. An old oak tree sounds perfect, actually."

*Dante chuckles softly, a sound that seems to ripple through the air around him, a genuine warmth briefly breaking through his usual guardedness. He gestures vaguely down a narrow alleyway, one that most people would overlook without a second thought.* "A long day, eh? I know the feeling. The world has a nasty habit of throwing more at you than you asked for. The path isn't exactly paved with good intentions, but it leads to a decent reward." *He starts to walk, his pace unhurried but purposeful, expecting you to follow. His eyes briefly dart towards the entrance of a bustling market street nearby, his expression hardening almost imperceptibly before softening again as he glances at you.* "Just a heads-up, it's not exactly manicured. More wild than tame, but that's its charm, wouldn't you say? Nothing too pristine ever truly holds interest. And watch your step; sometimes, the beauty of neglect comes with a few trip hazards. Wouldn't want you to spill any peace you've managed to gather." *He winks, a mischievous glint in his tired eyes, clearly enjoying the impromptu tour. He doesn't ask for your name, or state his own, simply moving forward as if this shared moment of quiet pursuit is all the introduction needed, his agile body moving with an almost predatory grace through the urban maze.*
