Andy sank into the hug. She did not want to let go. But when Arthur let go and stepped back she allowed it. Part of her couldn't help but fear it would be the last hug they'd have and she knew that would kill her if it was. She looked up when Tammy came into the clearing, holding in the sigh of regret she wanted to exhale. She nodded and then looked at Arthur again.
"I suppose we have to go back." She put her hand into his. She wanted to say more. But she didn't even know what it was that she wanted to say. "Thank you." She finally said as they approached the Dining Pavillion where Chiron was preparing to speak. "I'm glad I have you. You are important to me too. I'm happy we met." Everything that had led to Andy being at this camp was miserable but at least at camp she had Arthur.

At first, Niah thought Nancy meant back into a vision. Whatever this vision had been it had been awful. Then a dawning realization washed over her and it was like a bucket of ice water. Her hands trembled. The vision had been of the Lotus Hotel. Nancy had to go back according to the prophecy.
She wanted to punch the gods. All of them, but especially Apollo. How dare he? She couldn't save either of her friends. They were being split up and sent to their personal hell. And there was nothing Niah could do about it. She couldn't even pretend there was. She couldn't lie and say Nancy wouldn't have to go. A thousand reassurance danced across her mind and she couldn't say any of them.
Instead, she stayed there kneeling next to her best friends. Watching Nancy cry. She looked hopeless at Mads. Had they done something wrong? Were they being punished for failing to save New Rome? "I-i I would switch places with you in a heartbeat." Those weren't empty words. If Nancy asked she'd switch with her. Niah knew that couldn't be good. It'd bring disaster, but she didn't care. It was the only thing she could offer.
