OH SURE I'LL JUST COME BACK IN A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I'VE EITHER DIED OF ILLNESS OR JUMPED OFF A CLIFF, WHOOPS
really though that would make her sad to hear since she still hasn't seen any real signs that she'll live past 14 in canon :')
Let's see, Allegretto... I have some issues with the way their romance (and really all of the romances in the game) was written, though it does have some pretty nice parts, like the scene I took that pastebin from. (You can watch the scene here if you want.) Most of what I take issue with is that you don't see a ton of development getting them to this point and by the end it's supposed to be ~*~true love~*~ or whatnot.
BUT as for Allegretto himself, he and his brother Beat are orphans from Ritardando (the port city that you can see from the cliff in that cutscene) who would steal bread to help the other orphans who lived in the sewers. He's headstrong, and while he tends to lean toward action rather than overthinking things (like Polka does), he's pretty good at understanding the complexities of conflict and the moral grayness between right and wrong. He also seems to already be crushing on Polka from early on, and he gets flustered and tsun whenever Viola makes fun of him for doing anything remotely romantic toward her (which she does basically every time it happens). He also knows early on that she's dying, since it's common knowledge in their world that having magic = you have a terminal disease, and while he doesn't treat her any differently for it, he worries about her a lot and wants to find some way to save her.
I suppose I could also point out that the reason I said it's supposed to be true love is because from the beginning of the game, you see her falling and talking aloud: "I must do this. And it's for the person who means the most to me. My life is nothing compared to his. Doing this is easy if it's for him." And there's a bunch of other small stuff hinting toward them being kinda fated to be together- remember that stone she quested for from Lloyd? Well, if you watch that cutscene, you'll see some of how that relates too...
