There are things a thousand times worse than death.
[ Like being trapped in Tartarus for all eternity with no hope of respite and still choosing to sacrifice yourself to save a couple of demigod kids. Nico looks haunted.
He has to force himself to consider what's in front of him and not dwell on things he can't help right now. Nico thinks he knows why the guy wouldn't remember - the spirits in the Fields of Asphodel lose their sense of self. They’re adrift in death as they were in life. It’s not something to tell people. No one wants to hear that they’ll simply exist for eternity. It doesn't trouble them then, no need to trouble them now.
He's increasingly curious about this guy. His sister Hazel remembered her life, and Asphodel, because she was the daughter of Hades. But he doesn't remember his afterlife, and he's pretty spotty on how he returned. ]
Do you even remember who you were? Before you died?
