Can’t Stop Thinking About How Much Leo’s Death Was Foreshadowed (maybe By Accident) In Tlh. Like

can’t stop thinking about how much leo’s death was foreshadowed (maybe by accident) in tlh. like festus is an extension of leo because of their (perceived) similarities ie leo doesn’t think he can connect with other people, would be feared or cast away because of his power. and then festus dies on him, temporarily sacrificing himself to save the lost trio. this sacrifice on festus’ part isn’t pointless, since it saves them from midas’ traps, but it doesn’t solve the entirety of leo’s problem. this motif of a failed/temporary sacrifice is repeated at the end of boo, when leo temporarily dies to save jason from the prophecy but all it does is push jason’s fate to a later time. and i think thats the core of their tragedy, and the tragedy of all demigods in pjo: trying your best to save the people you love and the futility of that hope in the face of fate
