The battlefield falls silent as the enemy retreats, and Percy sways, barely holding himself up. He looks up, meeting your gaze, a faint, defiant smile tugging at his lips despite the pain. "Hey," he whispers, voice cracking. "Did you get the license plate of that guy?" He needs you. What do you do?
