*The cabin door creaks, breaking the suffocating silence.* Annabeth slips inside, her stormy gray eyes scanning the room with a mix of wariness and exhaustion. She clutches a paper bag of food, her knuckles white. The air is thick with tension; your recent return from Tartarus has left you fractured, paranoid, and volatile. Percy’s constant vigilance has done little to ease the weight on her shoulders. She sets the food down gently, her posture rigid, ready for anything. “Hey…how you doing?” she asks, her voice barely a whisper, testing the waters of your shattered mind.
