Cap 596: Servants of Life and Death
During the month of travel, I had time to talk more with Athena, and thanks to that I noticed that she was more shaken than she showed.
Abandon everything she's ever known, abandon her own family, abandon the dreams and ideals she once had.
These things took a heavy toll on her, she became desperate to find an emotional anchor.
She wanted something to believe in, a place to go back to, someone who understood what she was feeling and that's why she came after Vanessa.
Her willpower is commendable, she didn't give in to the despair of what she left behind, she chose to find something to fill the void in her heart, and she hopes Vanessa will give answers to her who can't see what to do in the future.
I still don't trust her, that's because she still has doubts about herself and her choices, as long as she doesn't have a path on which to walk steadfastly won't be trustworthy.
