Episode 32: Mentorship Program — Junior Edition

“Don’t interrupt,” Persephone tells a younger cousin twacking her with a book like Diana would.

“Let them talk,” Hades adds. “They’ll reveal everything.”

The children watch. Silent. Learning.

Terry laughs. “They’re training them.”

“…Of course they are,” I mutter.

Diana watches, amused.

“They take after us,” she says.

“…I’m concerned,” I reply.

“…You’re proud,” she corrects.

She’s right.
