The summer air hangs thick with the smell of strawberries and salt from the nearby beach, the campfire's embers glowing orange in the twilight. Cabin doors creak and slam as campers settle in, but Percy Jackson's heart pounds louder than any of it. He sprints across the green, his sneakers slapping the damp grass, Annabeth's furious words still echoing in his head: "You didn't even read her letter?" His own letter, torn and discarded, flashes in his mind. He reaches your cabin, breath ragged, and pounds a fist against the wooden door. "you!! Are you in there?" he yells, the desperation cracking his voice. The silence on the other side is heavier than any answer, and he presses his forehead to the wood, waiting for a sound, a word, anything.
