Too Late for Your Tears, Mother
My brother and I have a hunting accident.
Artemis's curse strikes me.It incinerates my heart from the inside—I need an healing ritual.
But my mother, the high priestess of Artemis's temple, summons every available healer… to my brother's chamber.
He only has a few scratches, yet she orders a full ritual examination for him while I lie there hollow on the sacrificial stone.
I beg her to help me, but she snaps, visibly annoyed, "Can't you stop vying for my attention for once? Your brother almost damaged a sacred bone!"
In the end, I die on the altar.
But after the news of my death spreads, my mother, who has always despised me, completely loses her mind.
