💀   ——   the streets of New York were not unlike the Fields of Asphodel, crowded and bustling. though the pace was much faster walking through Manhattan, and there was not the risk of bumping into one another in the Meadow. it was much louder topside as well, the noise hammering on the Italian’s ears. the only upside was that much like how the souls parted for him in the Underworld, the living did as well. whether they realized it or not. it was a blessing as much as it was a curse. hands shoved into the deep pockets of an over-sized jacket, head bowed and too-long curls fell into dark eyes, Nico glided through the sea of people with ease, picking up the pace as the sky began to darkened.  (  this visit to the East Coast was one made purely on a whim. an escape from his father and the festivities taking over the Roman Camp. he was not yet ready to venture to the Greek equivalent, however.  )
