Persephone was in her room sleeping. She was having a nightmare. Just as she woke-up sweating and panting Sting and Mars came into her room. Sting was holding something behind her back.
"Yes?" she asked.
"We didn't know you were in here." Mars said.
"Why wouldn't I be in my own room?"
"I don't know. Sorry."
"Don't apologize. What did you need?"
"Ve vanted zoo leave zomting for you." Sting said taking out the thing behind her back and handing it to Persephone.
"Why are you giving me Mouse's hat?"
"We thought maybe you would want it, help give you closure." Mars suggested.
"Oh my god! I don't need closure. And how would some ratty old hat help me?"
"Maybe it'll make you remember a story or memory that will help you."
"I don't need help! I need to be left alone!"
"You're hurting and you have people banging down your door trying to help but you're locking yourself in! Just talk to us."
"You want to talk? Fine. Why couldn't he just run away like a smart person? Maybe even if he did he would have been ambushed and still died. Maybe he could have met up with the others, and escaped but, Cypher still would have killed him. Maybe Cypher wouldn't have had the time to kill him and he lived. Then what? 4 other people still would be dead. Maybe Cypher still would kill him but then maybe Switch or Apoc would be alive. Or maybe if he was there someone wouldn't have kicked dust, Cypher wouldn't have sneezed and Morpheus wouldn't have sacrificed himself. Then Neo and Trinity wouldn't have killed a dozen men just to save one. Maybe, I don't know. Or maybe nothing would have changed!"
"Seph-" Sting started.
"Keep his hat, I don't want it." Persephone said as she left her room.
