annabeth taking the knife for percy was peak impulsiveness at that stage of their relationship. because up until this point of the series. if i'm remembering correctly. all of annabeth actions were calculated. even her stubborn actions had merit. but taking the knife? knowing he was invulnerable? but taking the knife? knowing that him watching you cry out in agony hurt him just the same if he had been stabbed? but taking the knife? and then lying on a cot in the glisten of the setting sun? vulnerable and slow? grounding him like he's the one who needed saving? like watching you bleed out is enough to kill him? and touching the small of his back brings him back to life? impulsiveness turned romantic. turned angst. turned 'all the words i didn't say but you heard them anyway'. don't talk to me.

Seems familiar?

This sculpture group called Sacrifice by Leonardo Bistolfi (1911) and the picture above is a part of it. Here is what I have found about the art.
"The “Sacrifice” group, however, is made up of four allegorical figures: a slave, about to be freed from the chains that still hold him back, supports a dying brother in arms – the man of the Risorgimento, captured in his extreme, heroic act of sacrifice – as he receives a final kiss from the Genius of Freedom, a woman wearing a Phrygian cap, sitting on a Roman altar. The Family, represented by another female figure, helps hold the dying hero."
Phrygian cap: It is used in the coat of arms of certain republics or of republican state institutions in the place where otherwise a crown would be used (in the heraldry of monarchies). It thus came to be identified as a symbol of republican government.
"The work is carried by the brother of a hero who died in the events of the unification of Italy. It describes how he was sent off with the last kiss by his wife on the Roman altar."
"The Sacrifice is a soldier who, despite being close to death, continues to aspire to liberty. "

And we have this.
We have four figures, Simon, Wille, Erik and Kristina.
Wille is finally sending off his dead brother. I think it is in more than one sense. One: he is saying goodbye to his brother, who was a hero to him and maybe Simon is the one who opened his eyes with his comment. People aren’t perfect, and that includes siblings too.
That's the sacrifice Wille makes. Letting go of his perfect brother and with that, there comes my second point, he is saying goodbye to the monarchy as well because that was the only thread Wille was hanging on, trying to be the Crown Prince, to honor Erik. Monarchy keeps them chained and makes them slaves and it is not acceptable to live like that.
I believe the promo pic might be a shoutout to this sculpture. However, the positions in the sculpture and the photo is quite the opposite. On the left, we have the female figure and on the right, we have the brother. But with Wilmon, it is is vice versa. Maybe I am reaching here but that may be about breaking the traditions as well. So a different angle and breaking the norm is what we go with.
In one of the sources, it says the art depicts "the final kiss between The Genius of Liberty and a young soldier who is about to die." but i am not concerned about it. I think the Crown Prince Wille will be gone and we will have free Wille at the end.
It all screams abdication to me.

In the back seat, Wille looks at Simon and takes his hand. Simon rolls down the window. The wind blows through their hair. Simon starts singing along. Felice and Sara join in. Wille is enjoying the moment, looks at Simon, then straight ahead, into the camera. And then he looks away. That's how we say goodbye to everyone.

it's the way that in the scene in the library from episode 6 wille originally looks like he's going to hide and his hand moves towards his stomach as if he can already feel it aching but he realizes he can't not say something to simon when he's *right there* and how you can see simon steal himself when he hears wille say "hi" and how he has to take a breath to center himself before he turns around and when he asks "hur mar du?" you can *hear* all the emotions he's holding back just in those few words
the tension and heartbreak is just so palpable and you can't help but feel like you can't breathe as they try to get through the painful interaction.
all of this paired with the fact that they were both returning Kris which was a book that clearly spoke to them
