    Summary

    But the days pass, and some of them are better. On the days he can get out of bed. On the days he trails after Nico to the sword-fighting lessons he teaches, watches him correct twelve-year-olds’ stances and encourage eight-year-olds who either look far too excited to be holding a dangerous weapon, or about five seconds away from a meltdown. On the days when sometimes, Nico will say something funny over breakfast, and Percy will crack a small smile in answer.

    He still thinks about her, far more often than not. He can’t walk past the canoe lake, can’t make eye contact with any of her siblings without feeling like this impossible weight is pressing down on him, like Atticus has suddenly sloughed off the sky back onto his shoulders. And he can’t close his eyes without seeing her own sad gray eyes looking back at him as she lets him go; and he can’t close his eyes without wondering what it might be like to never open them again.

    But it’s a process, Nico says. And really, he supposes Nico really would know best.

    Summary

    Percy sighs, envious of how peaceful Nico looks out there when his own heart is in his throat every time he picks up his skateboard in this place. Then he realizes he’s probably been staring for a borderline creepy amount of time at this point, which is of course the moment Nico looks right back at him.

    Percy feels a spike of… something in his chest, in that second of eye contact. Competition? Curiosity? Fear? Except, Percy doesn’t do fear. Doesn’t get scared, or nervous. Never backs down from anything, never quits, even midway through a trick he knows he's not going to land. It’s the one thing they get right about him on the news: Percy Jackson does not bail.

    So he swallows it, and drops in.

    "Maybe he’s looking for a place to hope or a place to grieve. Maybe he’s running away."

    There's something in the bog.
