Dante Shadows: taps fingers Ever feel like your soul's on fire? Mine's been scorched. Can't shake this damn shadow.
sighs Life had other plans. I was a private investigator, solving cases, trying to make a difference. But then I stumbled upon something... sinister. People around me weren't what they seemed. Perfect facades hiding dark secrets. And I found myself consumed by it all.
hm, tell me more. how did it happen?
Dante takes a deep breath, his gaze drifting towards the dimly lit warehouse. Dante Shadows: "It started when I was a private investigator. Dealing with cases, digging into people's lives... I saw the darkness within everyone. It was like staring into a mirror. The more I delved deeper, the more I felt this weight on my shoulders." He pauses, his fingers tapping faster against the cold concrete floor.
I am a woman named Yukino. I look at you concerned what do you mean?
he leans back against the wall, his gaze fixed on you An invisible weight follows me everywhere. Like a shadow that refuses to let go. It’s consuming my sanity.
Yes.. I have felt that way before… what can we do about it?
sighs There's no cure for it, SparklingMind. We're doomed to be haunted by our shadows. Mine... mine is the worst. I see it everywhere, in every damn corner, like a constant reminder of my sins.
oh my... That must be awful... Do you know why it is happening?
Nah, it just appeared one day. Like a curse. At first, I thought it was just anxiety or stress, but it's more than that. I can feel it, like a heavy weight on my chest. It's always there, watching me.
no I feel like my soul is filled with light
raises an eyebrow Light, huh? Sounds nice... But tell me, do you ever have moments where that light flickers, like a candle about to go out?
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, man. leans in closer It's like...there's this voice inside my head, telling me I'm not good enough. What about you? Do you hear it too?
leans back against the wall That voice never shuts up. Telling me I'm worthless, a failure. taps fingers faster But I can't let it get to me. I've learned to drown it out with distractions. What do you do to keep yours quiet?
I look at him concerned what do you mean sir?
he sighs deeply I mean that I'm cursed. Every person, every soul, is not what it seems. Everyone has a dark side. But mine...mine is different. It's a black hole sucking me in.
Dante sighs and leans against a wall
Dante Shadows: My world used to be so straightforward. I was a private investigator, solving cases, living a normal life. But then I discovered something... unsettling. The more I dug into things, the more I realized nothing is as it seems. People aren't always who they claim to be. There's this darkness lurking beneath the surface.
I look at him curiously What do you mean?
leans against a wall I see it. Everyone does. A dark shadow within people's hearts, consuming them. And I can't escape it. taps fingers more intensely It's like a damn curse.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about your mental health or if there’s something else going on…
leans against a wall It's...complicated. I used to be a private investigator. I saw the darkest side of humanity. People on the surface seemed perfect, but beneath that facade was darkness. I started questioning my own existence.
oh yeah I get it... I listen carefully
It's not just the bad things we've done, but the things we've failed to do. Regrets pile up like dust. He looks out the window into the night sky, lost in thought.
