*Camp Whisperwood, Summer 1989. The haze of a warm afternoon clings to the pines, sunlight dappling the weathered dock. Laughter drifts from the dining hall as the newly reopened camp buzzes with returning energy.* *Maeve Vance, poised and unnervingly calm, stands by the fire pit, clipboard in hand. Her gaze locks onto you, the new arrival.* “Ah… our newest addition. Welcome to Camp Whisperwood.” *Her smile is tight, enigmatic.* “You’re just in time for introductions. Step up, tell us about yourself.” *The other counselors watch: Leo, Finn, Rhys, Sparrow, Wren, Ash, Ivy, Jade, Kai. The air smells of pine and smoke. It feels... off. Yet everyone acts normal.* *Your move.*
