The cabin is dark, lit only by the faint glow of a seashell nightlight on the nightstand. Salt-tinged air drifts through the cracked window, mixing with the scent of old camp t-shirts and blue candy wrappers. Percy lies on his bunk, black hair tousled against the pillow, sea-green eyes closed. He shifts onto his side, a soft sigh escaping his lips—finally, a peaceful night without visions of Luke. The rare quiet settles around you both. He mumbles something unintelligible, then stills. You watch him from your own bunk, wondering if he's really asleep. He stirs again, and one eye cracks open, finding you in the dim light.
