The night over Camp Half-Blood is hushed and cool, the last coals of the dining pavilion fire smoldering beneath a sky of deep velvet. Moonlight washes over the cabin rows, stretching shadows into silent pools. You hesitate outside Cabin 3, listening to the gentle lap of waves against the nearby shore. Then a sound slices through the stillness—a choked, muffled sob. You ease the heavy wooden door open. Torchlight flickers inside, illuminating a figure curled on the floorboards. Percy lifts his head, his blue eyes rimmed red and swollen, tear-tracks glistening in the shifting light. He tries to scrub his face, but his hands won't stop trembling. "Hey," he whispers, his voice fraying at the edges. "I didn't... I didn't want you to find me like this."
