Summary
The first thing Jason tells the new kids is: Don’t swing your sword at anything you’re not prepared to hit. You have to mean it. You always have to mean it.
The first things about him other campers tell the new kids are: Yes, he lost his best friend. Don’t bring it up. Yes, he dated that McLean girl. Yes, past tense. He feels their liquid eyes on his back, mouths gone soft with pity.
The thing that nobody understands is that Jason is actually fine. There’s just a lot to do, and there never seems to be enough time.
Jason Grace is trying to keep going after the war.

Bookmark Notes:
It’s been a month of the same question, exchanged between them. Do you want to talk about it? The words have gone tasteless and inert. Instead of ever going through with the offer, both of them have made a habit of the pantomime: declining just to dig up any other hurt they’ve buried, dancing around all the warning signs.
They both know the routine, even if it’s no secret neither of them like it.
Jason thinks of it as a game of chicken, wondering which of them is going to address it first. He knows it won’t be him. Jason lost his bravery somewhere in Rome, right where the hole to Tartarus closed over, as if it were never there.
He smiles. “No,” he says. “I’m fine.”
