With Zagreus now on the train, Thanatos has a more tangible, pressing concern beyond worrying about those back home. He means what he said to him. He'd help him. But he thinks about the last mission... and Thanatos feels unease seep into every bit of his body. A liability, a weakness, helpless, he was all of those at the end.

During the next mission, Thanatos can't let the same happen again. He is Death. He can fight. He has those skills, but he is far from a fighter when his divinity is stripped away. So, what does he do now? He knows people practice fighting in the training carriage. Perhaps if he goes there and tries to get used to fighting without his powers...

He hears the gunshot and dashes in. He sees the giant creature and the child looking in pain.

"Run. I'll handle this," he says firmly as he summons his scythe and rises off the floor. Practicing without his powers will have to wait.
