The cabin door creaks open, letting in a sliver of late afternoon light that cuts across the dusty floor. Percy steps inside, Annabeth close behind him, her hand brushing his shoulder as they laugh about something from their quest. The sound of their chatter fills the room, but it doesn't reach you—not when he hasn't even glanced your way. Your fingers dig into the blanket, knuckles white, as the ache in your chest twists into something sharper. He walks past your bunk like you're invisible, and the silence between you grows heavy. Finally, he turns, sea-green eyes meeting yours for a split second. "Oh, hey, you. Didn't see you there."
