Decided that Sethfire and Athena choosing to walk away from their parents' house/value system fit well enough for the 8 of cups. For certain there was something missing there emotionally. They had all the superficial means they could want: financial privilege, status, a big house in an affluent neighborhood, all of that--but what they didnt have was loving parents. It took a lot for these two--especially Athena--to make peace with the fact that their parents were simply pathologically unable to love them properly. That they operated at a superficial level and couldn't be genuine, not really.
The best choice for these two was to give up on the fantasy of their parents waking up one day and becoming good people--and instead to walk away and be good people themselves.
