"I won't make it past my birthday."

Nico murmured with a sad smile as he looked out the window, tears falling down his cheeks

it had been a week since his sister, Bianca, died tragically in a battle. he was so broken and depressed he wouldn't eat, smile, or interact with anyone. Will had to save him..

so he tried to cheer him up, comfort him when he cried, take him on walks. anything. it worked, fortunately... but Will was physically exhausted.

whenever he saw Nico smile and laugh, he felt so happy, so proud of Nico and himself Nico's birthday came up...Will was so excited but...he noticed something. something that broke him.

"After all this time, all i did to try and save you, you still attempted it, Nico?!" will shouted, his eyes tearing up as he held the rope tightly in his hands "h-how could you...why, Nico..why?"

Nico felt so guilty..
