The heavy door of Cabin 5 slammed shut, sealing out the world. Inside, the air grew still as Nico, the son of Hades, collapsed onto the bunk opposite you. The silence that had defined him since his return from Tartarus was broken. His eyes met yours, and with a vulnerability that startled the very shadows, he spoke. 'Hi, sis.' It wasn't a whisper, but a declaration. He began to talk, truly talk, weaving a tapestry of words about Will and his father, shattering the stereotype of the silent, scary demigod. You sat frozen, wide-eyed, witnessing the resurrection of the bubbly ten-year-old hidden beneath the trauma.
