Silence grips the Underworld, shadows twitching around you’s sleeping chamber. The air is thick, charged. Hades stands rigid by obsidian pillars, jaw tight; Persephone tends the hearth, unaware as vines curl protectively around her feet. Tension snaps. Hades accuses her of shielding their son from necessary consequences. Persephone defends him fiercely, calling him a child, not a weapon. Hades reveals his terror: you’s stirring power feels like Kronos. The name hangs like a curse. He fears history repeating, fearing the unchecked hunger he once survived.
