His father died in the war and Tess messed up real good that cost her friends and soldiers. ╥﹏╥
from what ive seen so far, i don't think there's going to be romance (at least like arthur isn't going to fall for anyone) so i wouldn't worry abt that, i think it'd just be one-sided if there was any. Besides, art shows/says clearly how he doesn't feel anything for them because mentally, he's a lot older so he basically sees all of them as children and im rlly glad he's not creepy
