“They said I belonged with them,’ said Will. ‘That I was lonely,
even with you.’
Nico’s heart sank. ‘What?’
‘Not all the time, Nico,’ said Will, shooting him a sad look. ‘Just
sometimes. When I’m not sure if you’ve let me in.”

“Pain is a part of all lives, mortal and immortal,’ said the
nymph. ‘It is inescapable. We all must navigate this river to getwhere we want to be.’
‘Shouldn’t we aim to avoid pain?’ Will asked. ‘Or at least mitigate it?’
Nico shook his head. ‘You know it’s not that simple.’
‘Pain helps us learn,’ said Gorgyra. ‘It is unfortunate, but we rarely forget the lessons taught to us in moments of pain.’
‘Pain is inescapable …’ Will sounded like he was talking mostly to himself. ‘I guess that’s hard for me to wrap my mind around because I’m a healer. I’m always trying to reduce pain.”

“He turned back to Gorgyra. ‘A story about what?’ he asked.
The nymph examined Nico’s face, then Will’s. Was she going to pull soul threads out of them again?
Nico felt something brush his knuckles. He glanced down and saw that Will was trying to hold his hand. He opened his fingers and let Will slip his in between.
Nico’s heart sank. Will’s grip was very weak.
Nico had to do this. He had to finish what they had started.
The whispers called out to him.
And then Gorgyra did, too.
‘Tell me about the two of you,’ she said.”

“I’ll get you back home, Will Solace,’ Bob said. ‘You saved me. Now it is time for me to save you.’
Nico stirred against his chest. ‘Yeah,’ he said. ‘Let others do the saving, Will.’
Will hugged Nico tight. ‘Shhh, my little ball of darkness,’ he said.
‘We don’t need your sarcasm right now.’
Nico grunted a laugh. ‘You live for my sarcasm.”

“Though the Underworld is my realm, I am often restricted in my movements,’ said Hades. He sat to Nico’s left and put his hat aside, then gazed at him with his dark eyes. ‘I believed there was no demigod better suited to rescuing Bob from Nyx’s clutches than you.’
Nico barked a laugh – he couldn’t help himself.
‘I fail to see what is so amusing,’ said Hades.
Nico grinned. ‘I just remember a time when you were annoyed that I wasn’t as good as Bianca at being a demigod.’
Hades frowned. ‘I never said that.’
‘Totally did,’ said Nico.
‘That doesn’t sound like me.’
Bianca hid a laugh in a cough, and Maria scowled at Hades.”
