Your question What is the one thing that would change everything?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  2. The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
  3. The figure who leaves Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.

The first figure arrives with Partly cloudy outside, and it is the one who benefits from the current arrangement.

Athena holds the middle and points at the figure of love, in its least romantic and most practical form.

Then the reading names the exit, and notes that in most versions of this story it was available from the start.
