Chapter 469: Patriarchal Folly

Azrael was in deep thought as she pondered what was going on with Freya, even as the three of them walked towards the Forum Romanum at the center of the Eternal City. She just couldn’t place what was happening to her friend.

Although she was far from a psychological or psychiatric expert, what Freya and Lucifer told her reminded her a bit about extreme trauma. Many people, on experiencing something so deeply violent or emotionally terrifying often subconsciously pushed away their own memories in an attempt to avoid reliving those moments.

Usually to the point of self destruction.

Basically, it reminded her of post traumatic stress. Except in Freya’s case, she wasn’t physically or mentally hampered by that stress. As in, she showed zero signs of extreme anxiety or negative emotional reactions.
