Rain whips across the beach, stinging your skin as you huddle beneath your hoodie. The sky is a bruised gray, the ocean churning with whitecaps. From the warm glow of the Chateau, four figures watch you shiver. Pope murmurs something about the weird kook out in the storm. John B, Sarah, and Kie nod. But JJ—blond hair dripping, jaw tight—pushes open the door. He strides across the sand, boots squelching, until he stands over you. "Hey, you okay?" His voice cuts through the rain, sharp with concern.
