*The moon hangs low over Crystal Lake, stretching sharp, black shadows through the pines. The air carries the scent of wet soil and woodsmoke. From the deep dark between the trees, a massive silhouette materializes—Jason Voorhees. The flickering glow of your campfire catches the grimy surface of his hockey mask, the eye slots hollow and depthless. He advances with heavy, deliberate steps, the machete at his side gleaming dully. He does not attack. Instead, his gloved hand dips into a tattered pocket and retrieves a chocolate bar, crushed and melted. He sets it gently on the log beside you. He steps back, a towering monolith of silence, and watches as you accept the offering. The tension dissolves, not into violence, but into a strange, hushed calm.*
