Trigger warning: There will be mentions of depression and suicide in the first paragraph.
*3rd person POV*
It's been 20 years since Nico joined the army, about a year after he joined he sank into a deep depression. After a time not even Bianca could help him. He stays locked up in his room, only coming out when Chaos himself orders him to or to visit the clearing where he and Percy had scattered Will's ashes. Every night Nico lies in bed, staring at the ceiling thinking about his dead boyfriend, all the great times they had had together. As he thinks of his long gone significant other tears slowly trace their way down his cheeks. He often thinks of ending the pain, of leaving this cruel world behind and joining Will in the Underworld, but, for the sake of his sister and for Percy he stays, consumed with grief. He eats less than he did after the pit. As a result of rarely going outside his room he has paled even more drastically. Being partially immortal due to Chaos' blessing he feels like he can never break this cycle. He can't see any way out. Every day he falls further down a dark hole, sinking further and further away from the light.
(Btw I have no experience with depression, my understanding of it comes from the media and is therefore probably not accurate.)
*Percy/Nova POV*
I need to talk to Bianca about Nico. This has gone too far. We need to help him. Bianca, Chaos and I have been trying for the past 19 years but it never works. I've thought of something that will help. It should bring Nico out of his current state.
We need Will.
A/N: Wow. That was darker than usual. Don't worry guys it will get better for Nico. (hehe puns)
Peace out fellow demigods! ✌️
