[ after that
unfortunate incident that resulted in (1) one dante becoming completely and utterly covered in snow, he decided to retreat to the comfort of a hot shower where he was safe from the crazy kissing bullshit that is floating around.
(he would have a cold shower, but that seems counter productive. so it a hot shower it is.)
so there he stands, enjoying the constant stream of hot water assaulting his back, safe from zelman and snow and stupid kissing bullshit. ]
