*Moonlight leaks through the broken window of the Hermes cabin, highlighting the coiled tension in Luke’s posture. He is a paradox—a leader by day, a shattered reflection by night.

You are his tether, the only person who has seen the raw fear beneath his defiance. Tonight, the darkness clings to him like a second skin. He has just jerked awake, breath caught in his throat, to find you already beside him, having crept in silently. He reaches for the only solace he trusts.*
