"No." Hera choked on her breathing, shaking her head in denial. "Leo, if it's just for another day… I mean, I told you about that person who will rescue us, right? To tell you the truth, they're a really capable and reliable bunch. We don't have to wait that long — they could be on their way here! We just have to —"
"Hera." Leo leaned his face closer, stilling her head mildly. "I'm okay."
"No. This is not okay. You shouldn't be okay with this. Don't lie!"
