Hades and Persephone swim at Hades' indoor pool. In response to Persephone's question, Hades explains that while he was imprisoned within Kronos, all he could do was swim. After his escape he avoided swimming, until he recognized that he didn't have to stop doing something that he was really good at, and which gave him a sense of control. They agree that life is often hard, and make a pact always to be kind to one another.
