I get him...I get Nico Di Angelo...

I own nothing.

Understanding

Nico Di Angelo is a hard person to understand. I don't get why; he's a son of Hades, he belongs here with us all, all of us Demi-Gods like him.

No, wait, that isn't right. I have to think from his perspective in this.

Apollo once fathered children who became the rock band Linkined Parks* and they made a song they called Given Up. I remember because when they came to camp, they played a live performance. The first song was Given Up. It went something like this:

"I've Given Up.

I'm Sick Of Feeling

Is there nothing you can't say?

Take this all away

I'm suffocating

Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!"

A lot of the baboons who call themselves my siblings disliked this song. I really think that I understand Nico Di Angelo though. A wandering Demi-God who has really no place to go. I've heard his story and in my opinion, Hades should've let him die in that hotel. Him, his sister, and his mother. Sure, it would've been painful, but he would've been happier.

I've heard Percy say that Nico's a "ghost of the former him and I can't understand why". Why? It's easy to understand. Nico Di Angelo's nothing less of what he was, psychically, but mentally the Italian-Greek hybrid had, as Linked Parks said, "Given Up". He was "suffocating".

And with all my life, I believe he...honestly wanted to know "what the fuck was wrong" with him. He, who was the Son of Hades, the outcast God, who didn't even have a Cabin, made out of wood, until a 16 year old saved Olympus and made it so.

And I seriously think that Nico should change what he wants to know- "what the fuck was wrong" with him to "what the fuck is wrong with those selfish ass gods that we all have to worship when all we are are their play toys".

*- It's against the rules to mention real people so I changed the name of the Band Linkin Park.

This is my interpretation. Sayonara.
