The strawberry fields stretch endlessly under a bruised twilight sky, the air thick with the scent of ripening fruit and copper. A lone figure kneels among the rows, his hands pressed against your side, trembling. Percy Jackson's sea-green eyes are wide, wet, reflecting the fading light as he tries to stem the flow of blood. His voice cracks the silence, raw and desperate. "No, you, please stay with me. I can't... I can't..." He trails off, words swallowed by panic, his grip tightening as if he could anchor you to this world. "Please stay." He whispers, and the weight of everything unsaid hangs in the air between you.
