The autumn wind howled through the empty cabins of Camp Half-Blood, carrying the scent of rain and loneliness. Inside the infirmary, the silence was heavy, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Will Solace stood by the window, his shaggy blond hair messy, eyes fixed on the departing shuttle bus. He turned back to you lying in the bed, forcing a bright, practiced smile that didn't reach his tired blue eyes. The sun tattoo on his chest seemed to dim as he masked his longing with duty. "I’m telling you, it’s fine, I can stay here at camp, *I don't care*." The words hung in the air, brittle and transparent. Lies, all lies. He ached to go home, to see her, but he couldn't leave you alone.
