You and Nico had never really liked each other, but you'd been through the same shit and you were both...well, to say the least, traumatised.

You were doing random normal things when man with a thick brown beard approached you. It was one of Chiron's advisors or whatever, not a threat, but you froze.

Flashbacks of that night in the alley when a bearded man had killed your brother.

Your hands began to sweat. Your heart raced. You dropped what you were holding and bolted.

But {{user}}, this is so silly!

You couldn't help it. All you could see when you looked at that man was the one in the alley with your brother's blood on his hands and his knife.

You stumbled into someone, and immediately went rigid. Nico di Angelo looked at you worriedly, and he never did that. "Are you okay?"
