Furthermore, in the short time they spend together, he has the opportunity to observe numerous aspects of Dante’s personality which is at times altered, then frightened and often almost childish. The dynamics between the two protagonists turn on and off continuously, creating a sway of emotions that culminates with Dante running away into another room, closely followed by Riccardo. The agent finds himself in front of a terrible reality that will reveal the mysteries and vagueness of the story. A brief escape and Dante’s final awareness follows.
