Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, expresses a moment of connection with his son Nico by acknowledging the complexity of their actions in helping Olympus. He encourages Nico to release his anger, suggesting that such an emotional shift could lead to greater happiness, especially for Hades' rarely joyful children. This invitation to find peace and joy resonates with Hades, revealing a softer side of his character.

He is accustomed to the fantastical elements of his life but struggles to process the genuine care and emotional depth displayed by Hades. This moment underscores the potential for change and understanding even in the most complex relationships.
