Summary
"I realize I"m being awfully selfish by even asking you to consider this, but you"ve always been kind to me, and you"re—well, you don"t need me to tell you you"re handsome, I"m sure, and I just..." He breathes out a little sigh. "Is it so bad to want someone who cares?"
Being Prince of the Underworld isn"t easy when you"re constantly being reminded of all the ways you"re not good enough. Fortunately, Achilles is there to show Zagreus he has people who care about him.

Summary
The stranger"s feet do not burn, and that is what fascinates Patroclus. In life he saw men repair damaged weapons in flames as bright as Zagreus" soles, hot enough to make dead iron glow and submit and live again. Patroclus is the iron in this analogy.

Summary
Five perspectives on Thanatos and Zagreus as they fall, and in the aftermath.
“He"s not leaving,” Thanatos bites back. “There"s nowhere to go.”
Ah, the words of a god. To Achilles’ once-mortal eyes, there are cracks and open windows and doors with just the right key and escape routes aplenty from the House. “So you"d think. I guess wherever he goes, you"ll be seeing him either way.”
Thanatos turns to him and it"s as if this had never occurred to him. “What do you mean?”
“Didn"t you tell him? It"s a hard world out there. I’m sure he"ll find out, and I don"t know anything that can bleed that doesn"t wash up here eventually.”
