Day 1, Maganti Residence, Early Morning
Waking up had been surprisingly pleasant, no nightmares, waking up and not going back to sleep, for the first time in a long time he had gotten a full night of sleep and it felt great. He usually woke up with a look of pain and despair in his eyes, and he tried his best throughout the day to cover it up with smiles and light laughs. Today was different though, today Dante felt good and ready to get out and start living. He did his normal morning routine, and when he had just got dressed the smell of bacon and pancakes invaded his nostrils. He was wearing a red hoodie, black ripped jeans, and back vans, simple and ready for work. When he reached the dining room his mother and grandmother sat there eating, the table was big enough to hold seven but there three of them had only ever been the ones to use it. His grandmother insisted they eat as a family in the mornings and at night, and since she was moving on soon he only obligated out of respect for her.
Since Dante returned a year ago, these family breakfast/dinners had been over shadowed by his pain and anger towards his grandmother, soon that anger turned into hate and just overall dislike for his grandmother. The only reason he came back was because she was dying, and he wanted to be there when she kicked the bucket, she killed his first love and now the magic she used is catching up to her so it would only be fitting that he be there when she die. Each one knows what the other is doing, there are no hidden motives or back passive aggressive feelings. She knows Dante hates her, but the old woman was stubborn and would not apologize for what she did. Dante was eating with a pleasant expression, everyone saw this but even his mother knew it did not mean conversion. She was not in his good book either, she watched as it happened and did not care to warn him or even try to stop it, they still talked but it would never be the same again.
After the awkward breakfast, the only thing left to do was grab his bag and head to work. "Are you feelings okay, you seem different?" His mother asked him on his way out the door, she was happy to see her son smile again.
"Everything is fine mom, great actually. I think I might actually have to find something to ruin my day. See you tonight and call me if anything happens." Dante said with a genuine smile, then closed the door behind him. It may have been cloudy outside, but it was bright inside his heart and he was gonna hold onto his new found light.
