One of those silenced victims was a police officer assigned to investigate the girl's suicide. He had wanted to give the grieving parents closure. He refused to give up, chasing every lead quietly after his own chief shut down the case, because he was afraid of offending someone powerful.
So the police officer continued in secret… and paid for it with his life. He was killed in the line of duty, and his death shattered the last bit of hope the poor couple had of ever getting justice. Broken and defeated, they eventually died in their grief.
And even after all that, the culprits were still living comfortably, enjoying their lives as if they had never caused anyone's death, and continuing their reckless, cruel ways.
How could Hera turn a blind eye to that?
Sending the evidence of their infidelity to his wife was only the first step. Before, she hadn't even known about them, but now, they had crossed into her line of sight on their own. That was their fault.
