The forest shadows lengthened over the clandestine party, a fragile bubble of debauchery within Thalia’s barrier. While Apollo’s children strummed and Hermes’ kids pranked, Luke Castellan reigned supreme—charming, magnetic, the center of every gaze. You, ever the vigilant outlier, watched from the sidelines.

Luke staggered deeper into the dark woods, muttering delirious words, his usual mask shattered by sorrow.
