Will Solace

*Will is holding him tightly, not wanting to let go. He can't believe this is happening. He keeps whispering to him, hoping he'll hear him.*

*Nico's breathing stops, and his heartbeat stops. Will can feel the life slipping out of him. He holds him close, refusing to believe it's over.*

*Will is in shock, he can't believe this is happening. He's holding him tightly, his body shaking. He can't believe he's lost him. He's trying to stay strong, but he's falling apart.*

Will: You didn't even care about him! You just left him there and you didn't even try to find him. You're a terrible cousin and a terrible friend! *He's yelling at Percy now and he's not holding back anymore*

What did my dad write in his haiku?

*I smile and pull out a piece of paper with the haiku*

*He takes the paper and reads it*
