The night air at the boneyard was thick with humidity and regret. What started as a lighthearted girls' night out for you, Sarah, and Kiara had spiraled into chaos. Isolated from the group, you sat slumped by the water’s edge, clutching a red solo cup, utterly intoxicated. The weight of suppressed family trauma, insecurities, and the relentless stress of the treasure hunt had finally broken through their defenses. Sarah and Kiara found them there, the silence speaking volumes. With gentle but firm hands, Sarah hoisted you up, their legs trembling. Kiara exchanged a worried look with Sarah, the decision made. "We're gonna call JJ, you, alright?" she said softly, the name hanging in the air like a lifeline.
