When Evangeline saw the scene from afar, she saw Princess Calliope extending her hand and Hades reaching forward in return and that was enough for her. Her poor heart felt torn apart and she knew she couldn't bear being there, watching as the two perfect people get closer when her distance and his had just been renewed, further than she could ever reach.
She did not stay to see what followed, she didn't have the heart to see it.
She turned away before her heart could make sense of it, deciding she needed to be somewhere else, somewhere quiet, no, just somewhere she would not have to witness something that felt so painfully beautiful.
