Lowkey my friend kolette wrote this fanfic called "to catch a falling star"
In it she wrote this mutual distate dynamic between dante and kuromaku and I've been obsessed with it eversince 😭🙏 I'll try to find lines I like and put it here;
(Pov -- the reader is dante)

K: “Do you think yourself a philosopher?
Your so-called ‘philosophy’ has no significant place in the real world. It's ninety percent
useless. You would be better off contributing to society as a mathematician or a computer
engineer.”

D: You... find yourself annoyed.

K: “I don't guess anything,” Two brags, a victorious smile. “I investigate facts with the proper
data and sufficient evidence—and I'm always right.”

D: He really isn't.

K: "Clone Number
One only has his title for chronological value, but I can lead you and everyone else to
perfection if you let me.”

D: You don't take a single step before you look back at him, in offense for your Jack and disgust
for the apathetic idea.
