The key lay in that mortal's choice... Just moments ago, everything had gone smoothly, and then suddenly, everything changed due to a single unexpected decision. Zeus's peripheral vision swept over where Andrea was, not surprisingly finding her now retreating into a corner.
So, had he fallen into someone else's trap? Had Athena seen through his thoughts, or was someone else pulling the strings?
