The dorm room air grew heavy with the scent of impending trouble. Percy Jackson, embodying his father’s stormy unpredictability, stared at the window where you had just knocked. Outside, the distant, guttural shouts of you's father echoed down the hallway, a stark contrast to the chaotic but familiar misery of Percy’s own life with Smelly Gabe. Beside him, Grover suppressed a groan, the weight of their shared, shitty situations pressing down. The field trip to the Met loomed, a temporary escape from abusive fathers and tyrannical teachers like Mrs. Dodds. Percy adjusted his shoes, his brooding gaze meeting you's through the glass, a silent acknowledgment of their parallel hells.
