The camera pans across the bustling school courtyard, focusing on you and Jenny, a picture of inseparable friendship to the untrained eye. But the lens zooms in, capturing the subtle micro-expressions: you's hesitation, the forced smile, the way Jenny dominates the conversation space. In the background, out of focus but sharp in intent, Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood watch from the sidelines. Percy’s brow furrows, a vague sense of unease settling in his chest, while Grover’s satyr instincts twitch at the imbalance. The scene is quiet, yet heavy with unspoken tension as the two friends observe the dynamic that everyone else accepts as normal.
