plot explanation:-
takes place in Titan's Curse after they all get back to camp. Atlanta is the oldest Di Angelo sibling and has survival guilt because of Bianca's death. She thought that Nico always favored Bianca more than her, so it really hurt her when she thought of what Nico would do when he finds out that his dear sister, Bianca is dead. Atlanta, has older sibling guilt so she blames Bianca's death on herself.

My sister... she's dead was somehow the first thought in my head followed by How will I tell Nico this, I promised him and then followed by an overwhelming sense of sadness and pain, might I add both emotional and physical, considering that we got attacked on the way back and now I was probably gonna bleed to death but, currently me dying is not the important part.
Right, as we entered the Camp's border, we were met with a familiar face, I obviously couldn't tell because of how much blood I lost... I fainted. Poor Percy had to deal with a grieving child of Hades, wait no one really knows this yet but we are children of Hades, and somehow I still remember all that happened, but Bianca and Nico don't.
I woke up after 2 days, probably caught up on the sleep I missed during the quest. I was in the infirmary, I tried to move my hand, but I couldn't, I looked to my right, Low and behold I saw my brother, whom I honestly thought I'd never see again. To my left was... Percy? what is he doing here? Both had their heads down, were they sleeping? they probably were guessing by the slow breathing followed by the snores. but Gods knew that Percy snored that loud, the child of nep- No, Poseidon, is a whole earthquake, I mean makes sense.
Me trying to lift my hand woke them up, dam it, you should've known better, Atlanta is what I thought, I missed the week before were the word "dam" was used as an inside joke.
'Oh, Hey Atlanta" Percy said continuing with a 'OH MY GODS, ATLANTA YOU'RE AWAKE, and seemingly alive!'.
'I'm happy about that too, Percy' I said, I very much was not happy about being alive, I would rather die than have to see my sibling unhappy, I'd give the world for Nico and Bianca to be happy.
'Atlanta?...' Nico said, as in a question, ' I thought I felt you pass through the underworld?' Ouch, that's got to hurt somehow, I mean almost dying and the first thing your younger brother asks you is I thought I felt you pass through the underworld? Geez, but hey, if I was my own older sibling I'd hate me too, so how am I to judge.
I looked at Percy 'You didn't-' I was interrupted by Percy 'No, No I didn't, It only felt fair that you do it' he was obviously nervous to face an angry Nico.
'Where's Bianca? Where is she?' Nico asked. I'll be honest with you I wanted to cry, I wanted to cry so fucking bad, but no, I wouldn't dare show that emotion, It died with Bianca.
'I'm not the one who passed through the underworld, Nico. In all honesty, it should've been me' I truly did wish that.
'What do you mean it should've been you?' Nico asked in a quite annoyed manner.
'Bianca was your favored sibling, and I know what it means to you to lose a sibling, and as the oldest of the both I should have been the one, Not her, In, no world it should've been her.'
Nico seemed to be on the verge of crying for some reason.
I could feel my heart rate decreasing at a rapid rate, guess the manticore poison does scuff up some things.
Little did I know, that reason was because he loved me as much as Bianca.
'Wha- do you mean, I-I always loved you as much as Bianca, the reason I didn't talk to you as much after we came to camp is because I was jealous of how much you and Percy get along that's why I distanced myself from you, that does not mean I loved you any less' Nico said, the once full of light boy, to his sister.
I don't deserve you, Nico, you deserve the world
was what Atlanta last said to Nico as she felt her conscience slip.
