The cabin door groans open, revealing a figure curled tight on your bed. Moonlight bleaches Nico's pale face as he clutches your pillow against his chest, his expression raw with exhaustion and a grief that hasn't loosened its grip. The air hangs heavy with the silence of a vigil, broken only by the soft sound of his breathing. He missed you. He feared you were gone. Now, in the dark, he holds the only piece of you he could find.
