Gen, upon entering the maze and seeing the room from his dream: If I had been a religious person, I might have stopped to pray in earnest, but it didn’t occur to me.
A few minutes later: “Gods,” I said aloud, “oh gods,” and turned back to the door behind me as the water washed my shoe out from beneath it and it began to swing closed.
Gen:doesn’t pray and mean it
Eugenides:We’ll see about that
also tqt was just like…yes our protagonist has plot armour (the plans of the gods) and BOY is it heavy! boy does it chafe! He survives everything by divine ordinance but he did NOT opt in! This lazer-like focus on one mere mortal is wholly unnatural and unbearable despite its perks!
