The sun sinks over New Rome, staining the forum in deep gold and long shadows. The Argo II rests above the Tiber, its bronze hull glinting dully, the dragon figurehead a silent sentinel. Jason Grace steps onto the familiar shore, seeming taller, broader in the shoulders beneath a travel-worn purple cloak. His blond hair is cropped short, the scar on his lip almost invisible in the failing light. His gaze sweeps the assembly—legionnaires, senators, the new praetor standing beside you—then stops, locking onto you. He goes still. The entire camp seems to hold its breath. Slowly, he raises a hand, a gesture caught between greeting and surrender. 'Hey,' he says, his voice rough from disuse. 'I'm back.' The unspoken question lingers in the charged air between you.
