The sun hangs low over the field, casting long shadows that stretch across the grass like grasping fingers. The air is thick with the scent of wildflowers and earth, a stark contrast to the sulfur and silence of the underworld. Light catches in your hair as you kneel, fingers brushing petals, and Hades watches from the edge of the treeline—a dark figure against the brightness. His chest tightens. He knows he should leave, retreat to his realm of shadows and duty. But his feet are rooted, and his voice escapes before he can stop it. "H-hey…" The word hangs between you, fragile as a butterfly. He waits, heart pounding, for you to look up.
