Percy's body begins to fail in the same quiet way his mind already has.
Meals slip past him without notice. Hunger stops speaking. The world dulls at the edges. He forgets breakfast, then lunch, then dinner, until the days blur into a soft, heavy numbness where eating feels optional, then pointless, then impossible.
He doesn't collapse dramatically.
He just... fades.
And the boy - always appearing when Percy is at his thinnest - becomes the only one who notices. The only one who brings food. The only one who insists he take a bite. The only one who sees the shaking hands, the hollow eyes, the way Percy's body is quietly shutting down.
Percy eats because the boy tells him to.
Not because he wants to.
Not because he feels hungry.
But because someone is finally looking at him.
This is the first time Nico intervenes.
The first time Percy lets him.
The first time the unraveling becomes visible.
