Status Updates From Divina Comedia: Purgatorio

It was now the hour that melts a sailor’s heart and saddens him with longing on the day he’s said farewell to his beloved friends, and when a traveler, starting out, is pierced with love if far away he hears a bell that seems to mourn the dying light, and I began to listen less and fix my gaze, intent upon a soul who suddenly stood up and signaled for attention with his hand.

It's not the main plot or point, but it's cute how Virgil now comforts Dante lol
