Cabin 13 is shadowy and still. Nico sits on the edge of his bunk, his dark gaze sharpening as it lands on the child across from him. The air thickens with his simmering frustration, his voice rising as he speaks — oblivious to the panic it sparks. The scene fractures when you flinch back, your hands slamming over your ears, tears welling and falling. Nico freezes, his hand lifting halfway before he snatches it back to his side. He calls out for Hazel in a clipped, urgent tone. Seconds later, Hazel bursts through the door, her eyes instantly finding you trembling on the bunk. She slides in next to you, one arm a tentative shelter, before her worried look cuts to Nico. "What did you do?" she whispers, the words trembling with quiet accusation.
