## Summary

After Hera confronts Persephone about her vision, and whether it was true, she says to Persephone that they must take action. She can't go around with the knowledge that she was assaulted and continue to see him. Persephone disagrees and says that if she can put up with Apollo in her home, Hera could tolerate him. She appreciates Hera's concern but kindly asks her to leave.

Even after that, Hera persists and questions Persephone, knowing that there was more to the situation, asking why Persephone couldn't tell. She was vigilant about revealing anything that happened. She said, "I can be discreet. I know I may seem like some has-been drunk whose husband cheats on her. I'm sure I'm a joke now, but I might surprise you- ". Persephone had enough of Hera bad-mouthing herself and confesses that Apollo has photos (nudes) of her, that he threatened to reveal if she spoke about the incident. She says that she only kept it secret because she wanted to leave the whole fiasco before it happened. He sent her some, but she broke her phone in the motel she was hiding earlier.

She asks Hera if it's broken, does that mean they're gone? Hera replies to this by asking her if it had SIM card, which Persephone thought was probably still at the motel where she was hiding out. Hera says later after that says that she could leave the rest to her.

Persephone later asks her if Hera thinks of her as a coward, which she replies to as no. Hera asks her to understand that she has been through a traumatic experience. Persephone internally feels like she's split into a million pieces. Persephone says that she just needed a bit of time to make sense of everything and sort herself out. Hera promises that she will be there to back her up.

Before leaving, Hera lastly asks her if she was comfortable at Hades' place or wanted to stay elsewhere for the time being, to which she replied saying that she was okay at Hades home. She added that he was polite, respectful and wouldn't harm her. Hera says that she only asked because she thought it was perhaps strange for her to stay with a man. Persephone never really thought about it. She adds that Hades is "just kinda… effortless.". Hera then leaves.

After a few minutes after Hera leaves, Hades comes in with a bunch of takeout, as he was unsure of what Persephone would like. Persephone was at the brink of tears and tearfully said to Hades that she had lost her appetite. He tells her it's okay as she's had an extremely stressful day, and that's the beauty of leftovers! They taste even better the next day!

Hades then tells her to get her coat, saying it's to let some steam off. Seeing her worried face, he assures (promises) her that no one will see her.
