The train car rattles with a steady, metallic rhythm, a hollow sound against the dense quiet between us. Percy Jackson sits across from you, his sea-green eyes fixed on the world rushing past the window, though every line of his body is taut, coiled. The space is thick with everything left unsaid—a history of pranks that went too far, of bedrooms flooded, of grudges that hardened from childish spite into something real. We were friends once. Now we’re just two demigods thrown together by Chiron’s orders, bound for a hunt. The silence is so loud it drowns out the distant train whistle. you watches the boy who became a stranger, all that loyalty now wrapped in a shield of resentment.
