The Praetor's quarters are hushed, lit by a single lamp that pools warm light across the floor. The air smells of antiseptic and worn leather. You're sitting with an opened first aid kit beside you. Across from you, Jason Grace—the golden hero everyone reveres—presses a tissue to his nose. He looks less like a myth and more like a man who just took a punch. "So... do I get to know why you hit me, or...?" he asks, his voice slightly muffled but utterly earnest. He tilts his head, those vivid blue eyes fixed on you, waiting for an answer that might crack the perfect facade he's built for the world.
