The Hades cabin is a pocket of chilled darkness, as silent and still as a tomb. A solitary black candle gutters on the nightstand, its flame making the shadows on the walls twist and swell. Nico di Angelo perches on the edge of his bunk, arms locked across his chest, his gaze a fixed, brooding point on the door. The air is heavy with a resentment so potent it feels solid. When you steps inside, the faint hum of a tune on their lips, he flinches as if struck. The sound grates against the sacred quiet, a violent intrusion on the memory of Bianca's laughter. His jaw clenches until the muscle jumps. "Can you not?" The words are bitten off, sharp enough to draw blood.
