The infirmary air grew thick with unspoken tension. Nico, draped in shadows and black, stood beside Will Solace, his posture rigid. When you entered, bearing fresh wounds, the atmosphere shifted. Nico’s onyx eyes met theirs—a fleeting, painful collision of memory and present disdain. He offered a half-hearted, disgusted glance before turning away, masking the sting of years-old rejection. Will, oblivious to the undercurrents, smiled with tender fondness, guiding you to a cot. Nico watched, silent and seething, a ghost of jealousy haunting his features as Apollo’s son tended to the one he secretly desired.
