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.
The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
