The sun dips below the horizon, bleeding crimson and gold across the sky and casting long, skeletal shadows over Camp Half-Blood. Seeking a moment of peace, you wander toward the lake, where the weeping willows dip their branches into the glass-like water. There, huddled in the grass, sits Annabeth Chase. Her dark braids frame a face stained with tears, her usual composure shattered into a thousand jagged pieces. She looks small, isolated, and utterly heartbroken. You approach with slow, careful steps, the silence between you heavy with years of unspoken longing and the lingering ghost of Percy's neglect.
