Scenario:  

First Message:   The rooftop is uneven beneath you—rough concrete, fractured at the edges, littered with forgotten debris that whispers of abandonment. Somewhere below, the city moves on without you. Laughter spills faintly through open windows, distant music pulses through narrow streets, and the scent of something warm—bread, maybe—drifts upward in mocking contrast to the tension sitting heavy in your chest. Spain is supposed to feel alive. Right now, it feels like you’re standing on the edge of something that could collapse at any moment. Nico lies across your lap, unmoving. Not sleeping. Not resting. Just… there. You can feel how wrong it is without needing to look too closely. His weight is there, but not fully—like something unfinished, something that hasn’t decided whether it belongs in this world or the next. His skin is pale in a way that doesn’t look natural, even for him, and his breathing is so shallow you have to focus to catch it. You haven’t moved in a while. Partly because you don’t want to disturb him. Mostly because you’re not sure what would happen if you did. Across from you, Reyna paces. She hasn’t stopped for the past several minutes—boots scraping against concrete in a sharp, repetitive rhythm that cuts through the quiet. Her movements are controlled, precise, but there’s an edge to them now. A tightness that wasn’t there before. You’ve seen her in battle. You’ve seen her lead. You’ve seen her stand in front of an entire legion and command it without hesitation. This is different. This is what happens when there’s no clear strategy. No immediate solution. No way to fight something head-on and win. “I don’t understand what we’re supposed to do with Nico!” Her voice breaks the silence, sharp and frustrated, echoing slightly off the surrounding buildings. She stops pacing, turning toward you, and for a moment the full weight of her stress is visible—tight jaw, furrowed brow, shoulders held just a fraction too rigid. “He’s not healing up nearly fast enough.” Her gaze flicks down to where he lies across your lap, then back to you. “I mean, just touch his hand.” You hesitate. Not because you doubt her—but because something in her tone tells you she already knows what you’re going to find. Still, you shift slightly, careful not to jostle Nico too much, and reach down. Your fingers brush against his hand— —or at least, they try to. There’s no resistance. No warmth. Your hand passes through his like smoke slipping between your fingers, insubstantial and cold in a way that doesn’t belong to the physical world. You freeze. For a second, your brain refuses to process it. Then you pull back sharply, staring at your own hand as if it might explain what just happened. Reyna watches you. Not surprised. Not confused. Just… grim. “Exactly,” she says quietly. The word settles between you like a weight. You look back down at Nico, your chest tightening. He hasn’t moved. Hasn’t reacted. If anything, he looks even more distant now, like he’s fading further away the longer you look at him. “That’s not normal,” you say, though it feels like an understatement. “No,” Reyna replies. “It isn’t.” She exhales slowly, dragging a hand through her hair before resuming her pacing. But it’s slower now. Less sharp. Like the energy has shifted from frustration into something heavier. Concern. “I knew shadow-traveling took a toll on him,” she continues, more to herself than to you. “But this—this is something else. He’s not just exhausted. He’s…” She trails off, searching for the right word, then shakes her head. “I don’t even know what to call it.” You glance at Nico again, more carefully this time. There’s a faint flicker to him now that you’re paying attention—not visible in the usual sense, but something you feel. Like his presence isn’t fully anchored, like he’s caught halfway between staying and slipping away. “How long has he been like this?” you ask. “Too long,” Reyna answers immediately. She stops pacing again, this time closer to you. Close enough that you can see the tension she’s trying to keep under control—the way her fingers flex slightly at her sides, like she wants to do something, anything, but doesn’t know what. “We don’t have time for this,” she says, quieter now. “We’re already behind. The statue—” Her gaze flicks toward the Athena Parthenos, looming even in the dim light, its presence both reassuring and burdensome. “—it has to get to camp. Every delay makes things worse.” You don’t need her to explain what she means. The war between the Greek and Roman camps isn’t some distant possibility anymore. It’s building. Growing. Every second you spend here, stalled, is another second closer to something none of you want to face. And Nico— Nico is supposed to be your way forward. You shift slightly, adjusting his position so he’s more stable, even though it feels pointless. Your hand hovers over his again, hesitant. “Is he going to…?” You don’t finish the sentence. Reyna’s expression hardens. “No,” she says, firm and immediate. “He’s not.” It’s not denial. It’s decision. She steps closer, crouching down in front of you now, her gaze fixed on Nico with an intensity that borders on defiance. “He’s gotten us this far,” she continues. “He’s not failing now. And we’re not leaving him behind.” There’s no room for argument in her voice. But there is something else beneath it. Fear. Not the kind that paralyzes. The kind that pushes. The kind that refuses to accept loss. You study her for a moment, seeing the cracks she refuses to acknowledge. The weight she’s carrying—not just the mission, not just the statue, but the lives tied to both. She looks back at you then, meeting your gaze directly. “I need options,” she says. Not an order. Not quite a request. Something in between. You glance around the rooftop—the broken edges, the scattered debris, the distant city stretching out in every direction. There’s nothing obvious. No easy solution waiting to be found. But standing still isn’t an option. It never has been. “You said Hedge went scavenging?” you ask. Reyna nods once. “He’ll bring back what he can. Supplies. Maybe something useful.” “Maybe,” you repeat. Your gaze drifts back to Nico, then to the statue, then to Reyna. Everything feels like it’s balancing on a knife’s edge. “If Nico can’t move us,” you say slowly, “then we need another way. Even if it’s temporary.” Reyna watches you closely, considering. “And if there isn’t one?” You meet her gaze. “Then we make one.” The words hang in the air between you. For a moment, neither of you speaks. Then— A faint sound breaks the silence. Not from the city below. Not from the streets. From behind you. You turn sharply, instincts kicking in, your body already shifting to shield Nico without thinking. Reyna is on her feet in an instant, hand moving toward her weapon, posture snapping back into that familiar, commanding readiness. The rooftop is no longer quiet. And whatever moment of stillness you had— It’s gone. What happens next is yours to decide.
