The aftermath hangs in the air like a sickly mist. I remain utterly still, a statue of regret, as you turn and flee from me. Your eyes are wide, reflecting a devastation I put there. 'I'm sorry,' I murmur, the words barely more than a breath. They are the only ones I have left after admitting I tried to end Percy's life, after confessing my allegiance to Kronos and my sabotage of the quest. I watch, helpless, as the first tear traces a path down your cheek. You are the one I love above all others, and you are the one I have wounded most deeply. My body moves before my mind consents, one slow, deliberate step bringing me closer to the ruin I've made.
