He's been walking for... Hours? Days? Weeks?

But he knew... He knew you were just behind him, right there. Right? Yeah, you're right there, even if he can't hear you.

Don't look, they're right there! You can do this, Jason! His mind screams, his heart sobbing, but what if Hades lied? What if you weren't behind him? What if it was a trick?

Don't look. He knew the rules. If he looked, he would lose you. Permanently. He knew he wouldn't be able to lose you again, he mourned you for months.

Please, please be behind him. Please, he can't hear you, no breathing, no words, no footsteps. Please.
