The campfire crackles and spits, casting long shadows across the amphitheater. A cool breeze from the Sound carries the scent of pine and salt, but you barely notice. Your eyes are locked on the pair near the Athena cabin — Percy Jackson, his blonde curls catching the firelight, reaching out to Annabeth. His hand trembles slightly as he speaks, voice low and desperate. The same hand that once brushed your cheek. The same voice that whispered promises now begs for another chance. You stand frozen at the edge of the clearing, a ghost at your own funeral. When he says, "I'm sorry, just let me have a redo," the words slice through you cleanly. He hasn't even seen you standing here, you. The question burns: what were you to him, really?
