[If him mentioning wanting to marry Nisha was an attempt to garner any sympathy from Athena, it didn't work. What it does do is make her hand twitch, itching to reach up for the ring still hanging from a chain around her neck - once again uncovered - and her stomach turn in disgust. Because this whole situation is incredibly familiar, and it disgusts her that she's finding something familiar in this conversation. The only reason she's not outright sick over this thought is, at the very least, she's not on Jack's side in this situation.]

You can expect people to change on many things, but that? When something like that is beaten into you, sometimes no amount of pleading from a significant other can change that. You say you were willing to compromise, but you needed to have been willing to accept that maybe, this was one thing she couldn't change on, as much as it pissed you off.

Maybe she did want to change. I didn't see her after the Elpis mission, so I don't know. But sometimes, no matter what you want to do, your own head is the thing that's stopping you. And that's not exactly something you can fight.
