Also, interesting observation: after having read Song of Achilles a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the parallels Rick Riordan had made between the Battle of Troy and the Battle of Manhattan. Spoilers for Song of Achilles below:
Now, is the hero I'm speaking of Clarisse or Achilles? The friend, Silena or Patroclus? The foe, the drakon or Hector? And the leader of the opposing army, Kronos or Paris?
All that to say, I believe that Clarisse and Silena were secretly dating behind Beckendorf and Chris Rodriguez's backs, or at least in love with each other. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
