Apollo was still a no-show and the cabin out in the middle of nowhere had become a god-free zone. A good thing, but I figured one would just pop in, most likely in Deacon's bed or something, where we'd least expect them.
In the absence of Apollo, the atmosphere in the isolated cabin feels devoid of any divine presence, transforming it into a place lacking the influence of gods. This unexpected absence creates a sense of relief, though the speaker humorously anticipates that a god might appear in an unexpected way, perhaps in a situation involving Deacon.
This reflection highlights the tension between the characters and the divine, illustrating how their secluded environment changes the dynamics of their interactions. The speaker's lighthearted remark underscores a blend of anxiety and curiosity about the gods' unpredictable nature.
