December is here.

Sometimes,
I just want to talk
About how the knives penetrated me
And sometimes,
I just want to pretend
It doesn't hurt at all.
— Nivya

The year of Glory.
The year of remembrance of the rage.
The year of the divine history of sapphics.
Of heart and mind and sea.
The year of Percy, Audrey, and Annabeth.

Aphrodite feels nothing.
