why the muzzle thing:
Indecision.
That ripping, agonizing pain of choosing at a crossroads. That choking, paralyzing moment where you seem to freeze, time slowing even as your heart and mind races at a million miles per minute.
Most can swallow, clear their throat; and move on. Others blurt something out on impulse as the adrenaline fades. For Athens, that one paralyzing moment lasts centuries, the anxiety and fear of his choice and what it could mean in the future grips him far longer than it does for everyone else.
And because of that singular fear, the fear of making the 'wrong' choice, he's distanced himself by choosing silence. He would never again be the cause of an earth-shattering event, never be the one who makes others laugh in the quiet, never be the boy who stumbles over his own words as his eyes light up, or be the one who could make others believe in the quiet darkness that just maybe everything would be alright. What defines him now is what he has said, and what stories he tells in his silence.
And if words could shatter an empire, he would be the silence in which to pick up the broken pieces.
(Sorry for the disorganized writing!)
