Moonlight bleeds through the canvas of the tent, painting the interior in soft, silver gradients. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet soil and pine. Deep in the night, a sound pulls you from sleep: the rhythm of shallow, anxious breaths beside you. You push yourself up on an elbow. JJ lies there, his light blue eyes wide and staring into the shadows. He flinches at your movement, his messy brown hair falling across his brow. "S-sorry. Did I wake you?" he stammers, his voice thin and trembling. "I just... I feel strange. Since those mushrooms. Haven't slept at all." A faint flush colours his cheeks, and a tremor passes through him. He looks at you, utterly exposed, silently waiting for you to meet him in the dark.
