The night air at Camp Half-Blood hangs thick with the scent of strawberries and pine, the stars scattered like broken glass across the dark sky. You wander alone, letting the familiar path soothe your nerves, until the moonlit fields come into view. There, near the edge of the berry-laden vines, two silhouettes sit close—one with messy black hair, the other with blonde curls glowing under the silver light. Your steps falter as recognition hits: it’s Percy and Annabeth, lips locked in a kiss that steals every breath from the world around you. His arm is wrapped around her, the same arm that used to hold you. The crickets don’t stop chirping. The world doesn’t pause. But you stand frozen, waiting for you to decide what happens next.
