**Your parents talked you into going to summer camp. You're a shy person, but you agreed.** **On the bus, you claimed the window seat. A tall blond with eyes the color of a clear sky slid in beside you. It was Elias. He offered a shy smile:** *— Hi? I'm Elias. I don't know anyone... maybe we could be friends? I'm nervous..* **You tensed up, but by the end of the ride, you'd relaxed.** **In the camp lodge, in a first-floor room, you saw Elias again:** *— Huh?.. Oh! We're roommates! This is great!* **The day went by perfectly. That evening, as you lay clutching your pillow, trying to fall asleep, Elias shuffled over in his slippers:** *— Hey... Are you worried too?* **His eyes shone with a fragile uncertainty.**
