The infirmary air is still and sharp with antiseptic, punctuated only by Annabeth's steady, sleeping breaths from a nearby cot. A strip of moonlight cuts across the room, catching on Luke Castellan where he keeps watch. His fingers move slowly, tracing the contours of the bracelet encircling you's wrist—a tactile anchor.

He looks at the person who risked everything for their friends, and relief floods his expression.
