When he appears, she can't help but stare for a moment.

Hope.

Let herself believe that she can rescue the man she loves.

She sees the blood, the wounds, the eye swollen shut—

But she can't think about that now, she has to let him know that she's coming for him.

When he disappears, she falls to her knees.

He couldn't hear her.

He doesn't know.

That she cares, that she loves him more than anything, that she's come to the Underworld for him.

And he's in pain and she can't find him.

That's when hope starts to fade away.
