Revelations from Patch 6.2: Buried Memories

[Eisi]

PANDAEMONIUM

Something I need to check - did Lahabrea definitely kill Athena? He's accused of it and doesn't deny it, but I don't think he ever outright states that he did.

Did he actually mean to kill her, or was it really an accident in terms of intent, and (once the "blanket denial" path is no longer an option) simply easier to take the blame for that specific mis-accusation than to tell the full truth of what happened?

Is Hephaistos all of Athena and half of Lahabrea? Did she "die" by being absorbed into him rather than being killed, as such?

Did Athena already split off some part of her soul, and Hephaistos is the rest of it plus half of Lahabrea?

How much *does* Lahabrea remember of the incident? It would have be enough that he doesn't want to go poking around and re-awakening the knowledge and desire to do whatever he tried to stop himself from doing.

Or does he still have the knowledge while only having removed the desire to carry it out?

Now I understand why people write "ten characters" all the time, what a stupid rule!

Lahabrea definitely killed Athena and says so himself. There's nothing to suggest it was an accident either.

Hephaistos is part of Lahabrea (who's actual name is Hephaistos), he is not part of Athena. Lahabrea split off the part of him that after his merger with Athena would eventually come to fully understand and agree with his wife's ways and desires. It stands to reason that Hephaistos is the part of him that loved Athena as well.

Athena did not split her soul. After she and Lahabrea split again, she was 100% herself, as Lahabrea was 100% himself as well. And she died soon after.
