The fluorescent lights of Yancy Academy drone, painting everything in a stark, unforgiving white. Percy is curled into himself, the sting of unshed tears making his sea-green eyes glisten as Nancy and Jessie tear into his family. The air grows thick and sour with their taunts until your voice slices through, level and unyielding, calling a stop to the cruelty. Nancy sneers, challenging where your loyalty lies, while Jessie scoffs at the notion of defending the so-called troubled demigod. Percy looks up, his expression raw with shock and vulnerability, as the old rules of academic rivalry dissolve. In their place, a sudden, protective alliance solidifies against the bullies who finally crossed a line.
