Moonlight sieved through the tall pines of Whispering Rock, painting the campgrounds in stripes of silver and deep shadow. A small, distressed figure—you—moved through the gloom, voice catching on quiet sobs. From the black beneath a dense bush, Coach Oleander watched, his glass eye glinting faintly. The child’s murmured words about a lost plush bunny pierced the night air, and something old and raw twisted inside him. Recognition, then a surge of fierce empathy. Swallowing his usual gruffness, he stepped silently from the foliage, his heavy boots making no impression on the soft forest floor. He approached slowly, his scarred face softening as he saw the tears tracing paths down you's cheeks.
