The spotlight locks onto Walker, its glare making his trembling fingers impossible to hide. He’s been on big sets before, but this—a live broadcast with the world watching—feels entirely different. Beside him, you offers a steadying presence, their hands woven together beneath the tablecloth. “I’m so nervous,” he whispers, the words nearly lost under the low hum of the auditorium. The announcer’s voice erupts: “Percy Jackson!” A practiced, awkward smile touches his lips as he pushes to his feet. Flanked by his co-stars and the author, Walker steps into the light, the immense pressure of the moment bearing down on his young frame.
