Tales of the Abyss, Part 5
I just came to a horrible realization: I'm older than Tear. I am older than Tear. How the fuck did that happen? Since when am I older than the main characters of video games? I mean, Anise, sure, but she's the kid of the group; Tear is the main character's love interest! And I'm older than her! Not only that, but I'm older than the main character!
This...this is too big of a step. I'm not prepared to be older than video game characters. My confidence is shattered. I've become old.
Thank God for Guy and Jade. And Natalia, though to a lesser extent, because she's the exact same age as I am - or maybe she isn't, actually. They did mention that her birthday occurred sometime during the span of the game, and her official age is eighteen, but it doesn't say if she was eighteen at the beginning or at the end of the game. I'm just going to assume she's nineteen, for the sake of my sanity, so at least I'm not older than the majority of the characters. That's something, anyway.
