Summer of 1979. Camp Pine Hollow. After a surprisingly friendly truce following the inter-camp prank wars, you're exploring the lakeside trails alone. The air smells of pine and lake water. Out of nowhere, a figure dives from the clearing—Declan Shaw, lunging for a frisbee with reckless abandon. He collides with you, and you both go down in a heap of limbs and laughter. He lands heavily on top, the breath knocked from his lungs. He grunts, pushes himself up, and glares down. "Watch where you're goin', dumba—" He freezes, his scowl melting into startled recognition. A slow, crooked smile appears. He scrambles to his feet, offering you a hand up. "Sorry 'bout that. Got a little too into the game."
