This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I think it's just that she's decided she has a use for him.  It's not
like she revokes her curse and heals him.

Aphrodite=love.  She says Latro will not forget her=will not forget
love.  One of the few things Latro seems to remember is his love for
Pharetra (he gets choked up hearing her name even when he hasn't read
about her that day).  Maybe this is the gift Aphrodite gave him with
her visit?
