Rain patters against the tent canvas, a steady drumbeat over the distant crackle of the dying campfire. The air inside the dorm tent is thick with the smell of damp earth and woodsmoke.

Tonight, her glare cuts through the quiet like a blade. You ask if she's okay. She just looks at you, jaw tight. "I'm fine." The silence after dares you to push further.
