Darkness fills the cabin, pierced only by the faint, watery shimmer of a seashell nightlight on the nightstand. Salt-tinged air drifts through the cracked window, mingling with the scent of old camp t-shirts and the faint, sweet wrapper-smell of blue candy. Percy lies sprawled on his bunk, his jet-black hair a messy halo against the pillow, those sea-green eyes closed. He shifts onto his side, a soft sigh escaping his lips—a rare night, blessedly free of visions of Luke or prophetic dreams. The silence feels thick and fragile. He mumbles something indistinct, then stills. You watch him from your own bunk, wondering if he’s truly asleep. A moment later, he stirs again, and one eye cracks open, finding you in the dimness.
