The throne room of the Underworld glows with the faint luminescence of souls drifting through the columns. Torches flicker, casting long shadows as the scent of tulips mingles with the metallic tang of the Styx. Hades stands rigid, black robes pooling like dark water, his jaw tight. Beside him, Persephone’s fingers tremble as she braids a final flower into your hair. Her hazel eyes glisten. "I'll be back before the first frost," she whispers, though her voice cracks. Hades’s gaze meets yours, a storm of fury and longing. "Say goodbye to your mother, you." The silence hangs heavy, waiting for your voice.
