[This is a familiar dream for Percy: he's done it many times before. Percy is in a straitjacket and is being forced to take a standardized test. The teacher supervising him is a harpy-- those who paid attention during Camp Half-Blood will recognize it instantly.

But there's probably going to be more. There usually is in his dreams]

[Confinement | Drowning | War | Death go tag!]

No. Don't touch it. It's... it's really dangerous, okay? Just leave it alone.

[squartatore]

What?! But those people -- [are still practically unconscious] they can't protect themselves!

[it's not even about the personal stake she has in this, even if they were complete strangers, leaving them alone with something dangerous doesn't sit well with her]

They're asleep. As long as we get the monsters to focus on us, these people will be fine.

[gritting her teeth. Obviously, he knows better than she does about all this, it's why she hasn't questioned him unnecessarily]

[have a show of faith, with her moving next to him. What now?]

...Look, I know this is rough, but we gotta stick together if we want any chance to protect Olympus. I'm sorry there's nothing we can do for these people now, but if we protect the city they'll all be safe.

[squartatore]

Yeah. Yeah, [scrubbing a hand over her face...] I know. I'm listening! I wouldn't have any idea what to do without you.

[just... eyes her uncertainly. And on they go into the silent city]
