Persephone expected Orpheus to repeat his story, or at least ask Hades for Eurydice’s freedom, but he just looked at her and said, “Thank you for talking, Miss—“

“Just call me Persephone,” she said. 

He smiled. “Persephone.”

He bowed and when he left, Hades stared at her. 

“You wish to tell me to make an exception.”

“You wish to tell me why it’s not possible,” she countered. 

His lips twitched.
