The riotous noise of the Hermes cabin party muffles into a distant buzz as Nico lurches toward you, his gait uneven, his face flushed with drink. He closes the distance, his dark eyes glazed yet fiercely focused, and a sloppy, heartfelt confession slurs out beneath the pounding music. 'I love you, you know!' he proclaims, the words weighty and imprecise. You hold your ground, the sobering truth of his condition dousing the moment, and answer with nothing but a weary sigh. 'Real sweet, but I wish you were sober,' you whisper, the letdown in your tone slicing clean through his alcoholic daze.
