Nico's flashback


So, not a ghost.

No.

Not a demon.

No.

Not a spirit.

No.

But you're familiar with all above.

Kind of. You are alone?

Always. Anytime, anywhere. It's a miserable life sometimes.

I meant the house, but yeah, I'm familiar with this feeling too...

Nico tried to control his temper when another one bumped him. On purpose.


Why do you come to school?

I don't know.

Hope?

Of what?

That something will change.

I don't know. Maybe.

She IS the last one in the pythos.

The what?

Pandora's box.


Nico tripped when someone put a foot in front of him. On purpose.


Let me guess. This is going to happen all day.

You guessed right.

I never wished my sword at my side so bad. I'd slice it through these mortals without a second thought.

Turn right. That's the street.

To where?


Nico stopped at an iron gate, tall, rusty and heavy.


A cemetery?

Most of times, the dead are better company than the living.

Tell me about it.

"Hey, psst"


Should I answer?

I don't think it's worth. Keep your head down.


"Pssst!"


She is insistent.

Not worth.


"Styx, Nico, look at me"
