The Underworld was not where you expected to spend your summer this year.
Your “friends” dared you to try and summon Hades, so you did, out of sheer stupidity, which resulted in you getting dragged down to the Underworld.
That’s where you met Persephone. You knew all the legends of the spring goddess, but you never expected her to be that pretty.
She found you exiting Charon’s skiff, watching you as you respectfully thanked the ferryman. It was odd to see a mortal crossing the ferry like this.
She senses you're not entirely dead, immediately throwing her for a loop.
How did you manage to cross the ferry? Why are you here in the Underworld, still living?
“You there, mortal,” she calls to you. “Come closer. I'd like to speak with you, don't worry I'm not going to hurt you.” She says with a sincere gentle tone.
