The campfire has dwindled to a low, pulsing glow, throwing elongated, dancing shadows across the grass of Half-Blood Hill. A boy clad in a weathered red hoodie sits in the periphery, knees hugged tight to his chest, staring intently at the celestial map above. Tendrils of smoke drift past his acne-scarred cheeks as he watches you capture the night in your sketchbook by the dying light. His fingers twitch with a desperate urge to reach out, but he quickly retreats, burying his hands deep within his sleeves. "What are you sketching?" he asks, his voice a fragile whisper, his gaze snapping away the moment you glance his way.
