Like 1) The Summer Festival Where Is Frequently Seeing Colorful Explosions That Remind Him Of His Parents Deaths - Blog Posts

and yet crazy coincidence one trip up and then u double explode into essence (reference to the fact that essence is released upon death and looks like fireworks) (<— also from the hanabi dante card. he also says he knows this firsthand after reading the book due to witnessing aforementioned deaths) honestly i think dantes two first cards with eiden (hanabi and christmas) are very funny from his perspective like 1) the summer festival where is frequently seeing colorful explosions that remind him of his parents deaths and the 2) eiden actively inviting him to carve an ice sculpture your new long distance situationship invites you to hang while you do work in their state and somehow the universe conspires into adding in weird niche things that feel super weird to you but are innocuous to anyone else of course eiden didnt think dante would have a thing about ice sculptures!!! he's from the fire territory also... special mention to them fucking at his parents graveyard and eiden also.... being around on the anniversary of his parents deaths?? at least blazing coliseum (his default ssr) is like. mostly a normal date lmao
