Late afternoon sun slants between New York skyscrapers, painting the pavement in gold and long shadows. The air carries the scent of street food and distant rain. Your demigod family moves through the crowd—Percy weaving a ridiculous story, Annabeth nudging him with a fond sigh, the others laughing nearby. For a moment, everything feels warm and whole. Then a voice rings out, sharp and sure, calling a name you buried years ago. Your steps stutter to a halt. The group falls silent, turning. That name—your first name—hangs in the air like an accusation. Your heart thuds against your ribs. you only knows you by the name you chose. But the person who shouted it is still watching, waiting for you to face them. Do you look back?
