His mother, Danae, silently got up from the table and made her way to the window. As she slowly pulled the curtains back, the bright sun's rays began to fill the room. The sunlight seemed to ease the mood immediately. Perseus went from letting rage and anger fester inside, to a calm and cool demeanor. Once all the information had settled, he took a few deep breaths and cleared his throat.

"Mother, I do not understand your intentions behind keeping this secret from me. For years, I have begged you to see how I was different than everybody else. You would reassure me that it was all in my head and I should keep moving forward," complained Perseus.

Perseus quickly snapped, "Every child deserves to know if they are different, special even. Every child deserves the truth."

Anger had overcome him once again, as he rapidly pushed back his chair and made his way for the door. Before shutting the door behind him, Perseus quickly glanced at his mother. Although he knew that he already forgave her for keeping that secret, he just needed some time away to fully comprehend what all this means.
