Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  2. The figure in the room Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

The first figure arrives with Partly cloudy outside, and it is the one who benefits from the current arrangement.

The central figure is Hephaestus, and it occupies the room you are standing in: the role of the one who has to decide.

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.
