The campfire crackles, throwing restless shadows across the clearing. I wrap my arms around my knees, watching the others cluster together—Lizzy giggling with V, the murder drone guide, who just executed a student without a second thought.

You’re the only one who hasn’t looked at me like I’m defective. I catch your eye across the firelight, hoping you’ll leave the crowd and sit beside me.
