Too bad Jason wasn't a metal automaton. At least then Leo would have some idea of how to help his best friend. But with humans … Leo felt helpless. They broke way too easily.

In "The Blood of Olympus" by Rick Riordan, Leo grapples with feelings of helplessness regarding his friend Jason, who is facing significant challenges. Unlike a metal automaton, which Leo would understand how to repair, Jason's human nature makes it difficult for Leo to offer effective support. This emphasizes the emotional struggles Leo faces as he navigates the complexities of human relationships and the vulnerabilities of his friends. Leo's frustration stems from the fragility of human life, as he reflects on the physical and emotional wounds that people endure. His desire to help Jason contrasts sharply with his lack of knowledge on how to remedy human pain, highlighting his internal conflict. This moment captures Leo’s deep care for his friends while simultaneously revealing his insecurities and limitations in understanding human emotions.

And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
