Percy is growing up now. He isn't the 12 year old boy that we were introduced to anymore. Given the things he has had to deal with you can't blame him for being different. Also being with Annabeth would have caused him to mature as well. It's still Percy, just more mature and well older. I think we would all like to see Percy and Annabeth live to go on and teach the future demigods at camp half blood, that would be the perfect ending.
