She's known from the beginning that one day she would come to see Cupid, Ares, and Hercules and wouldn't be able to. Aphrodite's known all along that one day, the island would take this away, but that doesn't stop the knife from piercing her heart when she comes to the place where the mist is supposed to be and doesn't find it.
She can't stop the tears, and she lets them come as she thinks about her son and her brothers, how much she's missed them and how badly she will continue to miss them still. This time she's had with them has been precious, even if it's been totally fake, and she's going to hang onto that, because it's all she has of them now. It's all she may ever have of them again.
Aphrodite swipes at her eyes, about to turn around and head back when she hears a familiar voice yell out. "Oh no," she says softly, rushing to follow that voice. Of course he's out here, trying to find the mist, trying to get back to his parents. She has no doubt he'll be crushed now that it's all over.
When she finally spots him, down on his knees, the pain of her own loss is easily pushed aside. "Luke," she cries, kneeling in front of him. Her tears return as she caresses his face, unsure of what she can even do for him besides stay by his side.
