For Dante? Probably a therapist. With his own psychological issues, he isn't in much of a place to help others through theirs.

In Re: Shattered Memories, not really. The story's style kind of makes that impossible.

Generally, Dante does. But he also has no choice since things would be far worse if he doesn't complete the game's story.

#AprilWorldbuilders

They have sewers and peoples whose job it is to clean up things like horse crap and litter.

Depends on the culture and society, and those tend to only be followed for formal events. But generally, it is considered rude to reach over the table for something rather than ask for it to be passed to you.

The poems in Kelly R. Samuels’ “The Sailing Place” are pensive, impressionistic, sparse and compact, mirroring the frequently quiet malaise of necessary, domestic life. The voice is tightly measured and contained. The words seem to echo in these small spaces. But cracks in this guarded facade start to appear when routine is broken and the speaker considers the larger, natural world. An appetite for life returns: “The soaking up of.” The speaker’s world expands and brightens; colors reappear. There is a change in tone, however slight, that signals toward a life bubbling just below the surface, a moving past the mundane. I very much enjoyed reading Samuels’ collection and marveled at her masterful voice-control and restraint. These vignettes of a restless soul resonate in their quiet way, and her poetic craft is very apparent. I highly recommend it! Well done!

I had the opportunity to exchange book reviews with @kellyrsamuels.bsky.social Her chap The Sailing Place is a must read!

Cover showing a woman, man, and child against an ominous forest background. Blackout Trail by Linda Naughton. Available now in Kindle Unlimited, Hoopla, and audio.

"A character-driven trek through a quieter apocalypse, rich in moral questions if light on spectacle." -- Kirkus Reviews. Love this. It isn't a story about spectacle. Just three normal people trying make it through a world turned upside down. #books #readingcommunity #booksky tinyurl.com/mry9pr3t

6. Dante's homeland is presumably the Kingdom of Calavon. But it's hard to say for sure when he doesn't have his memories. Though Princess Augusta is definitely from Calavon.

Oreus 2 (iii) Oreus' eyebrows raised on seeing them. Both suffered from some sort of paralysis or at least that was what they claimed. The Mangans embraced the color red, sporting in on their chairs, jackets, and even dying their hair. The Rangers were despised by all the other teams, as they took delight in torturing their victims slowly. A stench entered the room.

They learn the reason for the meeting.
