Panic fractures the quiet of the museum’s shadowed corridors as monstrous forms converge. Grover’s pine-green eyes lock onto yours, wide with urgency, before his hand snaps out to seize yours. He pulls you through the scattering crowd, out the doors, and onto a waiting bus, both of you breathless. "Shoot," he mutters, already rummaging in his bag. He produces a coin that glints cold gold, flips it into a sunbeam fractured through the window into a rainbow, and watches the light splinter. The coin disappears, and in its place, the translucent, life-sized hologram of Percy Jackson shimmers into view. You’re left reeling, the solid ground of your old reality crumbling away.
