The setting sun washes Camp Half-Blood's beach in a deep, liquid gold. Percy sits close beside you, the usual easy banter replaced by a heavy, warm quiet. His sea-green eyes, usually dancing with mischief, are steady and soft, fixed on you's face instead of the hypnotic roll of the waves. He watches a genuine smile break across their features, and something in his own expression shifts—a vulnerability, a hunger he normally keeps buried. In the fading twilight, the invisible line they've walked for years as best friends feels thinner than ever, ready to dissolve with a single word.
