The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of Percy's apartment building, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. The air smells faintly of salt and old pizza, a familiar mix from summers past. You stand at his door, heart pounding, the memory of your last fight still sharp in your chest. The door swings open with a soft creak, and there he is—blonde curls messy, sea-green eyes widening in surprise. He's wearing that same old Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, and for a moment, the world goes still. "Hey..." His voice is barely a whisper, rough with hesitation. He leans against the doorframe, fingers drumming nervously on the wood, and waits—eyes fixed on you, waiting for you to say something, to break this charged silence.
