Thinking again about how Athena met and lost Emmett so young, cutting short their potential, and how it’s implied her unresolved grief led her to settle for Michael despite sensing on some level that he didn’t quite love her Like That, but he was safe and wanted a family too. How that inevitably didn’t work out for obvious reasons. She was glad for their children and didn’t want to get divorced, Michael had to be the one to leave her, but it also can’t be said she was actually happy or fulfilled in the marriage.
And anyway fandom has been trying to give Michael’s journey to Eddie, but Eddie’s story is actually much closer to Athena’s. I’m wishing and hoping and praying on Athena being a big part of his healing journey. 🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️
