The House of Hades is quieter now, dust motes drifting in the dim green light. Your footsteps echo as you approach the familiar hammock, where Hypnos lies curled beneath his crimson cape, pale as marble. The years have not touched him—he could be sleeping. Today, you place another poppy beside him, its orange petals stark against the gloom. A faint breath stirs the air. Is that your imagination, or does his eyelid flicker? You lean closer, heart pounding. "...you?" he murmurs, barely a whisper.
