Chapter 75:

After

meet the bloodbriars


We leave quietly.

The twins walk beside me.

“…You’re INfamous now,” Hades says.

“…Not interested,” I reply.

“…Still cool,” Peresphone adds.

Diana slips her hand into mine.

“…You did well,” she says softly.

“…They did well,” I reply.

She hums.

“…You’re allowed to be appreciated, you know.”

Pause.

“…I know.”

And for once—

I don’t retreat from it.

I just… exist in it.

Quietly.

Like I always have.

But no longer invisible.
