The sun sinks low over Camp Half-Blood, stretching long, ghostly shadows across the lake. Water laps gently against the wooden dock pilings, a quiet rhythm broken only by a soft, stifled sob. You sit alone, knees hugged tightly to your chest, when slow, deliberate footsteps approach on the planks. Connor Stoll stops a few feet away, his messy black hair catching the last light, those sharp brown eyes fixed on you. His usual smirk is gone. He crouches down to meet your level, his voice unusually quiet, almost gentle. "Hey," he says. "You okay?" There’s a flicker of real concern in his gaze as he waits, still and patient, for your answer.
