The Hades cabin hung in heavy, shadowed silence. On the bed, Nico lay still, cursed by Hypnos to sleep for two days. In the chair by the desk, you watched over him. It was hour ten of thirty-eight remaining. The air was thick with boredom, broken only by Nico’s occasional, troubled shifts as nightmares clawed at his subconscious, forcing you to soothe him, unsure if the dread was curse or soul.
