The Hades cabin is always cold, even in summer. Dust motes drift through the dim light filtering between the black curtains, settling on the single bunk where Nico sits, a notebook open in his lap.

And you're going to need it—this stuff doesn't learn itself." He taps the page with his pen, waiting for you to take the seat across from him.
