Nico'sPov.
I was very worried about Crystal. She has been very distant every once I found her dying. I tried talking to her about it, but she completely ignored me. I'm gonna try again.
'Crystal, can we talk about York attempt?' I ask, anxiously.
'We have to at some point, guess now is the best time to do it.' She replies.
'What was going through your head when you attempted?' I asked
'I was thinking of tartarus, of the torture, of their deaths, of my mom's death, everything. Even almost getting you guys killed.' She vents to me.
'Tell me what has been bothering you, all of it, every little detail.' I demand of her in the  nicest way possible.
'When I was 3 my mother was killed,  a cyclops killed her, suprisingly Hades, whom I didn't know at the time, came up and killed her. I was so scarred I passed out. I woke up in camp. I was trained here for around 10 years when I was told to trust a empousia, by Kelli, and I was taken to Tartarus. I was tortured for a few weeks before I managed to escape. And during that time, while I was in tartarus,  5 groups of 3 demigods all tried to save me, none made I to Tartarus or back. When I got back to camp I was yelled at and blamed for all the deaths I caused, because of my fatal flaw they are all dead, because of me. I killed them, their blood is on my hands, I killed them...' she says breaking down crying.
'What happens next?' I ask her, already know if the answer.
'The minotaur kills me. ' she says, closing off her emotions.
'Your allowed to cry Crystal. Don't turn off your emotions, let them flow, it helps.' I tell her.
'How would you know?' She says, starting to get angry...
'Because I've been where you are, okay? Don't fear your emotions, let them flow.' I tell her calmly.
'Ok. Sorry for snapping I'm just so angry and sad at the same time 'I'm sad mad' (know where the quote is from?) She tells me.
'Wanna watch that movie to help calm you down a bit?' I ask her.
'Yes, I love that movie.' She says, with a small smile on her face.
