Short summary: Nyx is distracted by the garden.
The garden is blooming once more, and Nyx finds herself more distracted by its presence than ever before. It’s really not much different than before but at the same time, every small change catches Nyx’s attention. Every small thing, because…
When Persephone was gone, Nyx found a hole in her heart that she didn’t know existed. Well, she didn’t know she had a “heart” in the first place, so that was the first surprise. The second surprise was just how much presence Persephone had taken up in said heart. For Nyx had been the one to help Persephone leave, because she couldn’t stand Persephone’s tears, because those tears penetrated through even the darkest of night.
It had hurt dearly when Persephone was gone. Which was partly why she helped Zagreus to reunite with Persephone, for Nyx could not allow herself… She is the incarnation of night, and thus she can’t allow herself to feel so much.
But she can’t help feel a little bit, with Persephone back in the Underworld, back in the garden once more. She doesn’t say a thing but she suspects Persephone knows, suspects Persephone might do something about it eventually when all the other stuff between Hades and Zagreus stabilizes. For now Nyx will remain distracted by the garden as she waits until the time is just right.
