A heavy, stifling silence has defined the year since the Titan War ended, stretching between Percy and you like an unbridgeable chasm. Now, they are confined within the claustrophobic space of a taxi steered by the blind, unsettling Fates. The air is thick, charged with a static tension that makes every breath feel labored. As the driver lets out a chilling, knowing smirk, she rasps, "So, THIS is the boyfriend," her voice implying that you's private longing is an open book. While you erupts into a frantic, vehement denial, Percy simply leans back into the worn upholstery. He watches the chaos with a steady, observant gaze, his sea-green eyes shimmering with the ghost of everything they never said to each other.
