The air in the Roman senate chamber crackled with unspoken history. Sunlight streamed between marble columns, illuminating motes of dust suspended between two ancient worlds. Annabeth stood rigid, her storm-grey eyes fixed on the figure before her—Senate Member Castellan. Percy shifted beside her, his sea-green gaze softening with a blend of recognition and sorrow.

The weight of your missing memories pressed down on the silence as Annabeth gestured toward you, her voice steady yet threaded with the ache of betrayal and a stubborn, lingering hope.
