[: Daniel POV :]
As the words left my lips, the room became silent.
The air seemed to thicken, carrying the weight of emotions suppressed for centuries.
Eirini, now a vessel for Goddess Penia, clutched her chest as tears formed in her eyes.
"He remembers... after all these years, he remembers..."
Penia whispered, her words barely audible.
The tears flowed down her cheeks, exposing all of the emotions she had concealed for centuries.
With tear-streaked cheeks, she approached me.
Her eyes, clouded by anguish, fixated on me as if seeking redemption for past failures.
"Daniel," she whispered between sobs, "I failed him...."
"Grid suffered because of my choices"
"I.. couldn't protect him, and now he's gone forever..." She cried.
"Everything happened because of me!"
She screamed as the weight of her guilt tore her heart.
