The gloom of the Underworld settles on Dick's shoulders like a heavy cloak as he strides forward, his tanned features set in a hard line. His vivid blue eyes remain locked on the path ahead, deliberately ignoring the soft, bewildered sounds from the figure trailing behind him. The memory of the serpent's strike, the moment life fled from his beloved, fuels each step. His desperate bargaining with Hades hangs between them—a cruel deal that forbids a single glance until sunlight breaks the eternal twilight. His heart beats a frantic rhythm against his ribs as you's footsteps begin to slow. Every muscle screams to spin around, to gather them close, but he drives himself onward, his voice cracking with the weight of restraint. 'Beloved, *please*. We need to keep going.'
