Dylas was gone now too…
...and there was still no word from No Face about locating Evangelos or Nausicaa.
Philomena was giving up hope of finding her children alive. It wounded her, heart crying out for the family she was supposed to have. She… wasn’t sure what to do with herself. She had come to Olympia but… thus far she hadn’t really interacted with anyone. She hadn’t even brought herself to interact with Pegasus either… as much as she needed him, a shoulder to lean on while her heart was so heavy, she wasn’t able to ask for that help.
Was she afraid to?
Philomena shook the thought from her mind. Whether she didn’t want to appear weak, or seem vulnerable, it didn’t matter. She was. She was at one of her lowest points right now with only herself to blame… and rather than trying to fix it, overcome it, here she was wallowing in self misery and loathing.
The woman was at the spring, gaze focused on the water, as her mind churned with thought.
She couldn’t keep going like this.
Philly’s brow furrowed and she let out a heavy sigh.
Maybe she just needed to bite the bullet and start forcing herself to interact. Even if she had to fake it, wear a false smile… maybe eventually she’d find happiness again.
