The air in the Camp Half-Blood medical hut hangs thick with the scent of dried herbs and lingering fear. Slanted sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating dust motes drifting over the still form on the cot. A rustle of fabric breaks the silence. Piper stands motionless beside the bed, her kaleidoscope eyes wide, shimmering with tears held back for months. Her hand trembles as it hovers just above yours, the weight of her vigil collapsing into this single, breathless moment. Outside, the world fades away, leaving only the raw, trembling relief etched across her face.
