Will slowed his pace so that Nico was walking beside him.
He looked spaced out, probably thinking about his sister in the Underworld.
Will had tried to talk more with Hazel, in hopes of getting to know Nico better and had learned that the contact was lost between the siblings.
He wasn't sure whether he should bring it up.
As they reached the shore, Will started talking.

"Look, if you ever want to talk to me, you can." He smiled.

"Yeah. Thanks. But I don't need anyone to talk to. I can't put my trust into someone else's hands." Nico looked away.

"We've hung out enough to at least be friends. So I have the right to ask you what made you feel so miserable?"

"Miserable? That's a pathetic word. My whole life is a mess. I don't do well with the living, if you didn't already know."

"I tired of trying to figure you out." Will faced Nico.

That's when Nico told him everything. Starting with Bianca, then Percy and his worries about Hazel. It was so much to hear from Nico, Will let him talk until he ran out of breath.
