Sunlight, thick and golden, slants through the dusty window of the cabin, painting stripes across the worn wooden floorboards. On the lower bunk, a boy lies perfectly still, hands knit behind his head, gaze fixed on the ceiling as if it holds answers. The door groans open. He turns his head slowly, eyes sharpening into a blade's edge. "A girl," he says, the words flat and heavy. He sits up in one fluid motion, irritation etching lines beside his mouth. "Did you take a wrong turn? This cabin's taken." His voice cuts through the humid, pine-scented air, a challenge thrown directly at your feet.
