It'd been three years... It'd been three years since they fell into Tartarus. It'd been three years since he returned without her. It'd been three years since Perseus Jackson put up a mask. Nico had gotten better in the past three years. He'd opened up, if not only to four people. He'd been eating more, he was doing extremely well in school, heck, he even let out an occasional smile, but when he sees Percy Jackson on a trip to the pub... Does all this fall apart?
