Explanation:

The text "He knew the sting wouldn't last forever. / But the scar would." implies that the immediate pain (sting) of Shay's absence will fade, yet the memory or mark (scar) of her will remain. This aligns with the idea that Dante will always remember her even as the pain lessens.

Answer:

C. The pain of Shay's absence will fade, but Dante will always remember her.
