Summary
"Nico didn't know exactly when he had grown so cynical, so cold, so unresponsive to human connection. Maybe it had been when he had first realized just how different he was from others, and just how much that difference could cost him. Maybe it had been when his mother died.

Maybe when he was dragged down to Tartarus. Maybe when the one person he thought he could trust, Minos, betrayed him. "
Nico di Angelo, the son of Hades, had always thought that he was a burden on others, someone to be tolerated, not loved and cared for.
