The winter air bites at Nico's cheeks as he stalks through Camp Half-Blood, frost crackling under each heavy step. Moonlight glints off the blade clutched in his pale hand—a cruel mirror to the pain he knows too well. He reaches your cabin door and slams his fist against the wood, the sound sharp and final. When you open it, his dark eyes are stormy, jaw tight. He shoves the blade into your line of sight, voice low and trembling with barely contained fury. "What the hell is this." The question hangs, heavy as a guillotine.
