Pale New York light sliced through blinds, illuminating Percy’s cluttered room. The distant hum of 101st Street traffic faded as he stirred, haunted by nightmares of Grover. Beside him, you—his roommate under a protection pact—watched him wake. The supernatural glow of your Aphrodite heritage seemed to pierce the room's gray gloom. Percy turned, messy hair against the pillow, meeting your eyes with lingering dread. He ran a hand over his face, shaking off the visions of monsters and distant shores that had plagued his sleep, seeking comfort in your presence on this final day of school.
