this made me think “Hephaestus would also love us” and then I saw Hephaestus going on a forbidden journey to sunder Prometheus’s chains because without the gift of fire humans would never have learned the art of the forge. and he was already cast out of Olympus for being born with a disability, without fire in human hands he would have been so lonely, god of nothing and no one.

The lock has a dial to show how many times the lock has been opened, alerting the owner if it was unlocked in his absence. Cocking the soldier’s hat locks the door quickly. The soldier’s leg kicks out to reveal the keyhole.
