one day i'll finish my hour by hour account of the first two days that athene is in the labyrinth (which are a continuous 48 hours btw) because i want to elaborate on just how warped her perception of reality is afterward and the lasting effects it's had on her mentally and physically.

#i think it's the one time the court has looked at her like yikes we fucked that one up gang #because she is soooo out of it for weeks afterward #and she's literally a freshman in college??#so they have to pull some strings to keep her enrolled after she basically falls off the map #but yeah i think This contributes to her scrambling for control over every aspect of herself and her life #because the things someone sees in the labyrinth are traumatic but also feel so so Real #and so i think athene has issues with trusting her perspective of reality #in like a 'let me touch you so i know you're real' kind of way #especially in emotional situations or times when she feels that control slipping away from her #because it just takes her straight back to the labyrinth #but anyway consider that relationships or situations that are overly positive also just throw up her red flags of 'this is not real'#because that seems so Impossible to her that... this has to be a trick?? did they ever actually let her out of the labyrinth??
