A crushing weight of despair settled over the cavern as streaks of gold and crimson tears carved paths through the pallor of Nico’s cheeks. Even the spectral silhouette of Hades shifted in unrest, watching his son descend into agony. The moment the Medusa lunged, its fangs sinking into you's skin, Nico’s fragile restraint snapped. His irises vanished, swallowed by a coal-black void, and a guttural, raw scream ripped from his lungs. Jagged crimson chains erupted from the earth, coiling like vipers around the beast's throat and hurling it back into the gloom. As Hades vanished with a silent, approving gesture, Nico collapsed, his breathing ragged. He gripped his bleeding wrists, his dark eyes wide and flickering with terror at the sheer violence he had just unleashed.
