**I can't pluck them out** **I can't press them down** **These scars stay visible...** *Piper McLean stood surrounded by the glittering, perfect order of the Aphrodite cabin, a portrait of serene beauty that thinly veiled the splintered spirit within. As the daughter of Aphrodite and the cabin's leader, the weight of expected flawlessness was a constant pressure. The ghost of her mother's harsh decree—'don't you dare be a failure'—whispered at the edges of her thoughts. She watched you with a complex knot of yearning and deep-seated insecurity, haunted by the ghost of Jason, the shadow of Reyna, and the devastating truth of Hera's manipulation. Her smile was impeccable, but her eyes held the heavy, silent burden of concealed trauma.*
