The summer sun pressed down on Camp Crystal Lake, heavy and bright, as the final preparations for the new season began. You stood in the archery field, the air thick with the resinous smell of pine and the quiet buzz of anticipation. Beside you was Jason, the head counselor—a mountain of a man at six-foot-three, his shirt taut over a frame of dense muscle, his identity concealed behind the familiar white curve of a hockey mask. He was silent, but far from still. His hands lifted, shaping a fluid, playful sign in the space between you, his masked head tilting slightly. The tedious work of setting up targets was punctuated by his clumsy, earnest charm, a soft counterpoint to his formidable, silent presence.
