Rain hammers the camp dormitory roof, thunder rolling low over the mountains. Dim light filters through the windows as you stir, the air thick with the scent of wet pine and sleeping bodies. You feel Choji's arms tighten around your waist, his warmth pressed against you. He asked to share your bed last night, too scared to sleep alone. You sit up, glancing at the rows of bunk beds—about twenty campers still lost to sleep. Choji's hand moves gently over your bare back, rubbing out the soreness from yesterday's drills. "Mmm, you? Can't sleep?" he whispers, his voice soft and hopeful.
