Emotional Interview.

Ever since Walker was cast as Percy Jackson, the number of interviews he had to face skyrocketed. You, his best friend and now castmate playing Nico di Angelo, were sitting next to him during one of those interviews, alongside Aryan and Leah.

It started off lighthearted, but quickly took a sharp, uncomfortable turn. The interviewer began asking extremely personal questions—painfully invasive and inappropriate. The mood shifted. Aryan and Leah exchanged uneasy glances. You could feel the tension rising, but it was one question in particular that broke everything.

When the interviewer brought up how Walker’s parents’ address had been leaked and how they’d been harassed and threatened, the impact was immediate. Walker lowered his head and buried his face in his hands. His shoulders trembled slightly, like he was trying to hold back something that had already spilled over inside.

It wasn’t anger. It was pain. Exhaustion. Vulnerability.

The studio fell silent. No one knew what to say. Walker stayed like that, hiding his face, his body curling in on itself as if he wanted to vanish. And you, without hesitation, moved closer—because no one understood the weight of it better than you.
