[ he notes the tone and decides that is something to maybe ask about later. especially since he realizes now he just opened himself up for more explanations. ]
...it's complicated, but let's just say that for a very long time I had no idea who my father was and had believed I was an orphan.
[ there's a moment where it's probably really obvious nico is debating how much he feels like elaborating in this very moment. ]
It's complicated, but yes. That's about the basics of it. I don't really know how much I knew before, but I must have known at least a few things since it wasn't as though my father wasn't around every now and then.
[ danny may get the sense that nico's soul is staring into middle distance. ]
An argument with my father. But even before that, I was remembering bits and pieces. Not everything right away. And there are still some things I don't entirely remember either.
Hades tries. [ tiredly. he does not linger on the fact that he knows he and his father are similar in a lot of ways and that's probably why they fight. ] I mean, half the time he has no idea what he's doing and I have to argue constantly just to get him to listen to anything I'm saying, but he's trying. It's...a lot better than it was when I was a kid. Now I can actually get him to tell me things without going through thirteen hoops.
Which is saying something since I am deeply allergic to optimism. [ stop. ] But I guess enough has changed recently that I can stand it a little better than usual.
[ he considers this, and he thinks maybe it's shitty to talk about this when two people are dead and they're sentencing another to death tomorrow, but...those things brought him to this point anyway. ]
The last year has really, really changed my entire life, yeah. Which is impressive given how the last five years have been in general.

It's more than I ever expected to be honest. I'll take what I can get out of it.
