Gods grew up differently than mortals did, but he could understand being too young for a role that felt like it was meant to be. Annabeth hadn't had a choice in all of this - just like none of them had the choice to participate now.
(Even though, Hades noted, Maggie had disappeared and presumably left the hunt. If their reactions were anything to go off of, they hadn't been all that fond of the monster hunting. Once he had finished helping Annabeth, he would have to find them.)
"We'll get through this," he promised. "You're not alone this time."
