[laughs] Can you talk about Annabeth and her relationship with Luke? 'Cause I see it's in the notes, and I'm very curious what you have to say.
51:20
Yeah.
51:20
Well, Luke for her is that early caregiver attachment, right? You see that moment with, over the cereal box i- in that tunnel as they're hiding from the Cyclopes as they're running away as children.
51:34
And I think for Annabeth, Luke does represent the ideal of, like, this is what I aspire to be.
51:40
This is, like, the person that I should become, and this is someone that everyone respects, right? Like, going back to her, the importance of other people's perceptions of her, I think Luke embodies that.
51:52
But I- the more interesting part of what has happened is there's been entire, like, ex- that has been just blasted to hell, right? He's no longer that figure for her and no longer that person that she can look to to understand herself, 'cause I think she really grew to understand herself through the lens of that relationship and who she is in relation to Luke, right? Their identities are intertwined.
52:17
Um, so she's really quite untethered, I think we see her in, in season two, right? Without this, like, attachment that for so much of her life has been, like, safety.
