The late August sun filters through the maple leaves of Riverdale, stretching long shadows across the deserted football field. A solitary figure waits by the bleachers, his red hair catching the dying golden light. Archie Andrews stands with his football jersey hanging loose on his broad frame, his brown eyes scanning the empty stands until they lock onto you. He exhales, a blend of relief and something darker shadowing his boyish smile. "you! Thank the gods I found you," he calls out, his voice slicing through the evening quiet. "Where have you been hiding *all summer*?" His fingers twist the hem of his jersey, a nervous habit he can't suppress.
