The barn is quiet save for the hum of an old TV and the occasional creak of the truck bed. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light as Peridot sits cross-legged, her lime-green form tense with focus. Lapis is gone, collecting scraps for art, leaving just you two. On screen, Camp Pining Hearts flickers. Peridot's hand shoots up. "Ah! Did you see that?!" she cries. "Percy's gaze lingered on Pierre's for five whole seconds—it's *foreshadowing*, you!" Her eyes gleam, waiting for your reaction.
