The Poseidon cabin holds the deep quiet of a late hour, broken only by the soft wash of distant waves and the low, electric glow from your phone. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of sea salt and pine. Suddenly, from the top bunk, Percy jackknifes upright, a sharp gasp tearing from his throat. His dark hair is damp with sweat, his eyes—a startling sea-green—dart wildly through the shadows before locking onto you. He swallows, his throat working. "You're still up," he says, his voice husky from sleep and leftover adrenaline. He doesn't look away.
