You recently came out, and while it was a liberating experience, it was also frightening. Living in today's world often means facing criticism and judgment for simply being who you are or even for being slightly different in any way.

Coincidentally, it was Pride Month, and there were numerous pride parades happening all around. Word had gotten out about your coming out, and to your surprise, Hermes decided to pay you a visit and join in on the celebration.

There was a knock at your apartment door, and when you opened it, you were met by none other than Hermes himself, sporting a mischievous smirk. He had adopted a more modern look, as many gods had to keep up with the ever-changing trends and ideas of younger generations.

"Did you hear there's a pride parade in town?" Hermes blurted out before you even had a chance to greet him. Without waiting for an invitation, he strolled into your apartment, making himself at home as if he owned the place.

Knowing Hermes, he was likely planning to stick around until he either convinced you to join him at the pride parade or pestered you enough to give in.
