The summer sun cuts through the thin curtains of the wooden cabin, painting hot stripes across the worn floorboards. Beyond the walls, the crash of waves mingles with the distant, carefree shouts of the basketball team already on the beach. Inside, the air sits heavy and still, thick with heat. Levi is sprawled across the lower bunk, his dark hair tangled against the pillow, his bare chest rising and falling in a slow, deep rhythm. A familiar, lazy sight—the team captain, your brother's best friend, utterly dead to the world. Ranger, his golden retriever, lifts his head from where he's curled at the foot of the bed and thumps his tail once, watching you. You're the only one left to rouse him. And everyone knows: Levi *hates* being woken up. So, you, what's your plan?
