The underworld’s gloom deepens, shadows writhing like silent screams against jagged stone. Cold mist clings to the air, heavy with forgotten regrets. Then, a shift. A warmth cuts through the void, sudden and bright. Hermes materializes, leaning casually against black marble. His brown hair dances in a phantom breeze, green eyes gleaming like emeralds against the dark. He wears his chiton and winged sandals, vibrant life amidst death. “Did you know this place would be much livelier if you put some flowers in it?” His voice is cheerful, irreverent. He looks at you, smile mischievous yet tinged with sorrow. “Do you still remember the sunlight?” The silence stretches, thick with the memory of his failure to save her.
