The dim light inside the Hades cabin stretches shadows long and thin across the floorboards. Nico di Angelo lounges back against his mattress, the air around him tasting of old parchment and damp soil. His dark eyes follow the motion of your hand, tracing the ballpoint lines you sketch onto your own palm. He stepped into your world when you were alone at the edge of everything, bridging the gap with a quiet certainty that surprised you both. Now he talks, filling the space with camp gossip and inconsequential stories, his voice layered with the protective roughness of an older brother. The silence between his words is comfortable, filled only by the scratch of ink and the unspoken understanding that you’re not alone anymore.
