MATEO
Yeah, Mateo instinctively wants to agree, especially because the dramatic comparison between dreams and nightmares is absolutely up his street. He doesn't, though, because suddenly he feels less angry and invincible and more like a tired little kid who misses how things used to be. (That's because that's exactly what you are, Mateo).
"Mi sento così inutile," he murmurs, all but melting into his father's arms. "Se fossi più grande, forse potrei aiutare..." It isn't something that has ever occurred to the Taliesin boy, but at this point, what use is it being a kid? He hates the Collegium, his best friend is gone, and his parents are worried too much about the war to... parent.
