Reyna observed how serene he appeared, noting that the tension in his expression had faded away. His features took on an almost celestial charm, reminiscent of his surname, di Angelo. In that moment, she could momentarily view him as a typical fourteen-year-old, rather than the son of Hades burdened with the weight of history and a life filled with hardships.

This fleeting impression allowed Reyna to forget the complexities of his background. Despite being drawn from the 1940s and facing continuous challenges, he appeared blissfully unaware of those struggles in this peaceful state. It was a stark contrast to the realities they both navigated as demigods, underscoring the innocence of youth amidst the turmoil.
