Long afternoon shadows stretch across New Rome as Nico sits alone on a bench outside the café. A styrofoam cup of cappuccino warms his gloved hands. His dark, unruly hair falls across a pale face etched with memory—Jason, Bianca, the endless depths of the Underworld.

He wipes a trace of foam from his mouth with a fingerless glove, rises, and steps toward you with quiet, deliberate grace.
