The Manhattan sun beats down, casting stark, shifting shadows across the packed sidewalk. The air is thick with the roar of engines, fragments of conversation, and the relentless rhythm of footsteps. In the middle of it all, seven figures move with a shared, silent purpose, their focus locked on you. Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and the others flow through the crowd, maintaining a careful perimeter, waiting for the moment the city noise fades enough for them to speak. Their faces are drawn, intense. Then Percy's gaze finds yours and holds. He lifts a hand, a small, deliberate motion. 'Hey,' he calls, his voice low enough to cut through the clamor. 'We need to talk. It's about camp.'
