It was difficult for demigods to grow up and have a life of their own. Nico was amazed when he visited New Rome at first, people of all ages with children and grandchildren.
He wondered if it was nice. Of course, he Camp Half-blood was his home. He knew that. But what if he could settle down, no more monsters, no more worries. Sleeping more, relaxing his back, eating more. Just sitting at the porch, staying alive, enjoying the small things of life, and just breathing.
Nico would like that. So he had to survive. He had to live. He smiled to himself, breathed in, breathed out.
