    Summary

    It’s an addiction at this point, his trips through the Underworld; a way to die and hurt and bleed in a way that he can no longer be shamed for. It is his job now, a thing that he is supposedly good at. 

    Yet he’s never felt like more of a failure. 
     

    Or: Zagreus' struggle with his spiraling mental health.

    Summary

    He can't remember the last time he cried. It was probably over something childish. It didn't hurt. It can't have hurt, not like this, or he wouldn't have forgotten.

    Summary

    There are things that are irreversible. Things you couldn't take back. And Zagreus realized that this was one of these things. No matter what he did, no matter what Hades did, this moment would never leave. This act would be forever a blemish on their horrible father-son relationship.

    Summary

    “Do you think you could have a door installed in my chambers?”

    “A door?” Father repeats, scornfully. “This is what you’re bothering me for?”

    “Yes, well, I’ve just been thinking, it’d be nice to maybe be able to close off my chambers,” Zagreus says, refusing to be discouraged. “It’s just, my room is right outside the lounge, and Mother Nyx spends a lot of her time in the hallway, and I—”

    “You wouldn’t need a door if you didn’t spend so much time lounging about your chambers, and instead put yourself to some use. Unlike you, boy, our House Contractor has quite enough work to do without spending the time, effort, and resources on such a trivial matter.”

    Typical. What did Zagreus expect?


    Of all the frustrations that come with growing up in the House of Hades, lacking a door to his chambers should be the least of Zagreus’ problems. But somehow, it still makes a difference.
