INTERLUDE: HERA JOVE-JUNO
Hera sighed in disappointment when Heffner showed up at her door, leaning against the open frame and crossing his arms over his chest. She liked Heffner; as graduate students went, he was easy, always willing to help with grading and timely with turning his written work. He had some frankly unhinged ideas about political science, but she supposed that was a natural outcome of having grown up a millennial. All of them were annoying. It wasn’t their fault.
Heffner’s main problem, in Hera’s opinion, was that he was too soft. He let himself get sucked into his undergraduate girlfriend’s problems.
“If this is about not wanting to grade the exams, I am not open to negotiations,” she warned him, not looking up from her computer. “You’ll put in your time reading garbage just like I did.”
Heffner sunk into the chair across her desk and straightened the pen cup she had balanced somewhat precariously on the edge. “It’s not about the exams. I don’t mind grading them.”
At that, Hera did look up. “That can’t be right.”
Heffner laughed and then shifted in the chair, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. “I’ve got a favor to ask,” he admitted. “It’s kind of personal.”

Why would you hide this in the tags?
currently obsessed with a twitter account that has a bot set up to record their cat leaving and returning to their house
the best part is that the replies are a wave of sadness and depression whenever the cat leaves and then rejoicing when it comes back like the cat is some kind of messiah
frankly im on board with out new lord and savior Pepito. let the people rejoice in his presence as he is the messiah
"all the things you love are waiting, all the things you love are fine. all of your fears are only just all of your love at double-time, so let your fear be kind"
"be cool all your stuff is where you left it"
