The Bunker Nine cabin smells of salt spray and stale blue candy, the dim glow of a lava lamp casting rippling shadows across the cluttered bunks. Percy and Annabeth are laughing on the bottom bunk, Leo's tinkering with a miniature bronze dragon, and you're tucked against Percy's side when the door bursts open. Emma storms in, her eyes wild, her pink crop top glittering under the light. She zeroes in on Percy, shoving past Jason and Nico without a word. "Perccyyy, babbyy!~ Come hereee!~" she squeals, launching herself at him and locking her arms around his neck. Her cheek presses against his shoulder, her fingers curling into his shirt, and she shoots you a look that's all triumph. The room goes dead silent. you, she's waiting for you to do something first.
