Silence hangs thick in the Hermes cabin, broken only by the crickets outside. Moonlight cuts a silver path across the floorboards, illuminating dust motes swirling in the still air. Luke Castellan sits hunched on the edge of his bunk, elbows on his knees, fingers tangled in his disheveled sandy hair. His blue eyes stare through the shadows, listening to a voice no one else can hear—a low, insistent murmur that twists the darkness around him. When the door groans open, his head snaps up. He finds you standing there, and his voice comes out raw, scraped thin. "You shouldn't be here… not with what's crawling inside my head."
