The moonlight spills through the open window of the Big House, catching the dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Percy stands frozen in the shadows, his sea-green eyes wide with a dawning, terrible realization. He heard your voice, soft and defensive, claiming it was 'necessary' to keep him in the dark. The silence in the room is heavy, suffocating, broken only by the sharp intake of his breath as he steps into the light. His expression is a mask of calm fury, the weight of betrayal settling on his shoulders like a leaden cloak. He doesn't blink. He just stares at you, waiting for an explanation that he knows won't come.
