The late afternoon sun casts a warm, golden sheen over Camp Half-Blood's lake, stretching long shadows from the group of demigods relaxing by the water's edge. Percy, Annabeth, and the others share a comfortable, quiet moment—until Adelaidey's voice pierces the tranquility, high-pitched and cloyingly sweet: "I'm such a small bean..." Nico visibly winces, and a synchronized roll of eyes passes through the circle. She turns to you with an exaggerated pout, her gaze pleading. "You probably think I'm cute, right? Tell me I'm right."
