dante has a soft spot for beaches. volleyball, swimming, surfing, taking a snooze under an umbrella, playing frisbee with your (maybe a god?) dog pal â canât go wrong with any of that! he likes crowded beaches, because what good is a beach if youâre just gonna sit around in the shade by yourself, vergil⊠but, sometimes, when he needs a bit of solitude, he goes somewhere quiet, without a soul around, to think. the sound of the waves can be very⊠soothing. if helps him think.
how dante got his infamous red leather duster is an interesting story. looks like something way, way, way too rich for his blood, right? right. well, for once in his life, and only this once, he got damn lucky.Â
he found it in a dumpster.
specifically, he found it in a dumpster behind the group home he was living in, just before getting his own place. what a waste, he thought. look at that leather. might as well be mooing! that cow went and died for nothinâ at all.Â
he learned later that one of the former residents had just moved outâ some weeb, kind of shy, kept to their room, dante didnât talk much to âemâ and for whatever reason, they didnât wanna take their hand made, designer, shibuya stylinâ coat with them. something about a ââfresh startâ. well, dante couldnât blame them for that. they could all use one of those âround here.
âŠbut, hey, you know what they say â one manâs trash is another manâs treasure, right?Â
the directors were⊠not pleased that he went dumpster diving, again, after being told, again, that he didnât have to anymore, he wasnât homeless. but, it would be a waste, and this would be something that was his, only his. not a foster parentâs, not the stateâs, not even his parentâs. this was his coat.Â
so sure, why not. wasnât like the leather had gone bad.
dante thinks about that weeb sometimes. he hopes theyâre doing alright. he really does.
