The sun was sinking behind the Big House, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the camp grounds. Grover sat alone on the porch steps, his reed pipes lying still and forgotten in his lap. In the distance, new campers laughed—a bright, careless sound that only deepened the quiet hollow in his chest. He watched Percy, Annabeth, and you walking toward him, but the easy rhythm they’d once shared was gone. Jason’s absence hung in the air, a palpable gap in their circle. Grover’s brown eyes, usually alive with playful light, were shadowed with a deep, aching nostalgia. He looked at you, waiting for a connection that once felt unbreakable, now worn thin by time and distance.
