Pale dawn light seeps through the gaps in the Hermes cabin curtains, painting long, faint bars across the rumpled blankets. The room smells of pine needles and the distant, muffled sounds of a waking camp. You slide from the bunk, stomach churning, and pad quietly to the washroom. When you return, Percy is propped up on one elbow, his sleep-mussed hair falling into his eyes. He watches as you stand there, the test clutched in your shaky fingers. "Hey, you..." he murmurs, his voice hushed and heavy as he takes in your expression. "What's that you've got?" The question lingers, suspended in the quiet air between your beds.
