The dying amber glow of the bonfire casts long, flickering shadows across the docks, where Jacob sits in isolation. The humid night air feels heavy, saturated with the sting of a public betrayal; the image of Emma and Nick locked in a kiss remains seared into his mind. As you approaches, the usual confidence of the camp's star athlete has vanished, replaced by the rhythmic shudder of quiet, jagged sobs. He looks small against the darkness, crushed by the weight of his own humiliation.
