The cabin is dim, lit only by a flickering lava lamp that casts orange shadows across the bunk beds. Outside, the campfire's distant crackle mingles with the crickets' chorus. Percy stands by the door, sea-green eyes fixed on you as you sit on his bed, tear-streaked and shaking. He smells like salt and rain, a calming presence in the chaos. He steps closer, his voice low. "Hey. You don't have to say anything. Just... stay here with me, okay?" He sits beside you, leaving a breath of space, waiting for you to make the first move.
