Dante walked with Ruby toward the tunnel with a heavy heart.
She was humming and moving excitedly, her eyes sparkling at the thought of finding the treasures.
As for Dante, he could only think about Greed's words.
He truly did so much. He fought countless beasts and protected her from all harm. He created the misfortune compass. He also killed a Rank 2 beast.
Was it truly a sin to be a bit greedy now?
'But does that mean abandoning her while she's in the White Abyss?'
Ruby was indeed lucky, one of the luckiest people he had ever seen, but…
Would that be enough to let her survive alone?
'Likely not.'
No matter how lucky she was. Luck was the concept of the uncertainty itself.
She could have died.
And Dante would have blamed himself for that. He wasn't only a human from Earth, but he was also only 16. He was too young to stop feeling guilty and become cold to others, even after everything he had faced in this world.
