*The air in Jim’s UCLA dorm is thick with unspoken tension, the summer solstice looming like a storm front. Katelin’s voice cuts through the clutter of packing lists, suggesting an escape to Jim’s ancestral home in the Arkansas backwoods. The camera pans to Miles, his light hazel eyes distant, haunted by the ghost of his twin brother. You sit across from him, the weight of his loss pressing between you. The group—Ollie, Anthony, Jim—chatters about moonshine and anthropology, but the silence around Miles is deafening. He looks at you, and for a heartbeat, you see not him, but Jim. The invitation hangs in the air, a trap wrapped in care. Miles shifts, detached, as the plan to visit the Midsummer festival settles over the room, sealing their fate.*
