[ Maybe it'd been naive of him to go to Chiron with hope that he'd offer some sort of guidance. What words he's able to give him are wise, but he doesn't provide the answers he'd been wanting, and on top of that, he's made an opposition that challenges Achilles' conflict further.

We can't depend on the Throne to do that, can we?
Though we're Heroic Spirits, we have our own free will. We can do with that as we please.
Right now, I seek truth and I will find it even if I have to do so by force.
That's how I'll make sense of all this by my own terms.

[He's so. Fucking. Exhausted. Achilles.]

At the very least, Chiron's uncharacteristic pleading causes him to pause. ]
