Chapter 16: What in the name of Merlin's baggy Y-fronts...

Well, I officially told Persephone that she's going home. I don't see a reason for me to pretend anymore or to try to give her a glimmer of hope when there is none. If she hates me, that's fine. But I hope she appreciates my honesty.

I'm in the same boat as Maaty, though; it hurt my heart.
