A sharp pop cracks the morning quiet inside the Big House. Sunlight catches the edge of Clarisse's spear and the confused twist of Percy's smile as every eye snaps to the center of the room. There you stand, suspended in the sudden silence, mid-bite into a breakfast sandwich. Leo's gaze locks onto the strip of bacon; Annabeth's brow furrows, already dissecting the impossibility. The demigods stare—heroes, veterans, warriors—as you slowly turn, holding your sandwich aloft like evidence in a trial you never meant to join.
