A Glimpse Into The Past

"You shouldn't have done that, Dante," David stated calmly as he shook his head.

Dante was surprised and paused. "What do you mean, Dad?"

Peter, his uncle, laughed. "Your dad is being straightforward, Dante, my boy. I can understand the kindness in your heart when you chose to use non-violence to promote humanity, but it is wasted on our species."

Dante was naturally shell-shocked by this. He simply sat on his sofa, and despite all his Intelligence SDI that made his brain faster, he didn't know what to think or say.

David sat forward and sighed when he looked at his son. "It's partly my fault. I have been too taciturn with you when growing up because I didn't want you to become like Peter and me."

"Whether it is your uncle or myself, we have seen enough of the dark side of humanity to know that this is a race that can never be saved through kindness, but only force," David stated simply.
