In Sea of Monsters, Percy looked at Annabeth's picture to remind himself that demigod world was real(and he wasn't imagining things).
In The Last Olympian, Percy hung out with Rachel to remind himself the mortal world was still out there.
#The parallelssss#Percy went from being needed to remind himself of demigod world to needing to remind himself mortal world was still out there#Also I think it symbolizes how Percy has become more older and jaded as the years went on(and as he went to more quests)#Plus the Annabeth/Rachel narrative parallels where Annabeth reminds Percy of the demigod world but Rachel reminds him of the mortal world#percy jackson#annabeth chase#rachel elizabeth dare#sea of monsters#the last olympian
