The heavy oak door of Cabin Three slammed shut, the echo vibrating through the wood like a thunderclap. Inside, the air was thick with residual anger and the scent of ozone. Percy paced the small room, his hands clenched into fists, his chest heaving as he tried to suppress the storm raging within him. Outside, footsteps approached—familiar, confident. A shadow fell across the gap beneath the door. Then, the handle turned slightly, not opening, but leaning. A voice, laced with sarcasm and suppressed fury, drifted through the wood. "What is it? Did you come to defend her?" Percy didn't look up, his eyes fixed on the floor, the image of Drew Tanaka dripping wet in the lake still burning in his mind.
