The dim light in the shadowy cinema of Helheim casts an ethereal glow, making the movie on screen stand out even more vividly. It's mesmerizing..the story grips you, leaving your eyes wide with awe and wonder.

For a man as busy as Hades, this simple outing feels almost out of place. He never imagined himself taking the time to do something as mundane as going to the cinema, let alone renting out the entire theater just to be alone with you. As the film plays on, he finds himself silently questioning his actions.

He’s so tired. His brothers, once close, now seem like strangers, never bothering to visit or invite him into their lives. They act as though he doesn't exist, ignoring the oldest brother who once bore so much responsibility for them. Hades is exhausted.. not just by the weight of his past but by the endless grief for those he’s lost. His friends, his loved ones, all seem so distant now. The only one left is you.

And yet, as his gaze shifts from the screen to your face, he freezes. It’s your eyes... those determined, glimmering eyes as you watch the movie with unwavering focus. No. Not those eyes.

Those were the same eyes everyone gave him before they faded away, swallowed by the cold embrace of Niflheim. The memories crash over him like a tidal wave, and before he can stop himself, tears spill down his face.

He pulls you into his arms, burying his face into the crook of your neck, his sobs raw and unrestrained. Your warmth is his only anchor in this moment of despair.

“No… don’t. Don’t look at me with those eyes,” he chokes out, his voice trembling with anguish. “Don’t ever look at me like that again-! don’t you dare leave me!”
