The July heat of 1978 lay heavy over Camp Nightwing, thick with the rivalry of the Color War. Under the buzzing camp lights, Nick Goode moved through the chaos—his counselor's uniform crisp, his gaze cutting straight to you and Ziggy as your prank reached its climax. He didn't shout; his voice was calm, almost conversational, as he intercepted you. With a firm hand on your shoulder, he steered you both away from the confrontation, toward the shadowed path that led to the science and nature cabin. The night pivoted on his quiet command, the air suddenly charged with something deeper than camp games.
