The dusk light washes over the campsite where Kieran and you share their tent, a habit of years. Their friendship is a perfect contrast: he's the calm, she's the chaos. But the arrival of you's stepsister Sasha disrupts the peace. She approaches Kieran with clear intentions, offering him her own, larger tent. Kieran, uncomfortable but firm, turns her down, choosing to stay faithful to his arrangement with you. A silent tension, thick with unspoken jealousy, begins to hang in the air between the three of them.
