Saturn by SZA " sick of this head of mine, intrusive thoughts they paralyze, nirvanas not as advertised. There's got to be more, been here before"

"Somewhere up ahead this turns into a saytr path" Grover says, as we walk though the woods. Honestly I have no flipping clue where we are, "uh, what's a satyr path?" I ask
"Exactly what it sounds like" Morana mutters under her breath, very quietly, but I can still hear her. Honestly I don't really understand her. Sometimes she is nice and funny, then others she curses you out and just...I dunno shuts off and puts up this wall of bitchyness. I wanna be friends with her, but I don't know if she wants that.
I glance over at Mora, and it looks like she is lost in thought. She has a small frown on her face, like she is thinking of something that causes her much pain. I glance down at her hands, she is fidgeting with her rings like crazy. And with her dark clothing. Jeans, a black tank, and a black hoodie, she looks like she could just melt into the shadows and get lost in her thoughts. Not even knowing what's happening.
After a while she catches me looking at her. And she snaps her head up, making eye contact with me, "can I help you?" She asks. "N-no" I mutter, and keep listening to Grover talk.
"Shut up, please, Ana" Grover slightly glares at her, "it's like a path, in the woods. Satyr explores use them. Harder to track us"
"That's great. But if we stay in the wilderness, how are we gonna find a phone?" I ask, and Morana looks at me like I'm stupid, "Phone? Why the hades do we need a phone?"
"Uh, so we can call camp. T-to get help" I say, how do these people not want to use a phone? Morana scoffs, "look, water boy-"
"We dont need help. We're fine"
I scoffs, fine? How is what we are right now fine? We're in the middle of the fucking forest! "We haven't even gotten to Trenton, and we're wandering through a forest" I point out. If this is their definition of fine, then-I don't even know, "I didn't even know they had forests in New Jersey, but we've found one! I say we're the opposite of fine"
"Look, we're on a quest. It's not supposed to be all cupcakes and rainbows. That's not how the real world is" Morana says the last part bitterly and she clenches her fists.
"Uh, yeah. This quest is supposed to be hard. That's why only certain people are chosen. If we call camp we're basically saying that we need help" Annabeth says
Well, what's wrong with asking for a little bit of help? "What's wrong with that? Everyone makes mistakes" from behind me, Morana gives Grover a look that says: is this guy for real? And Grover answers that with shaking his head disapprovingly and elbowing her.
