The summer sun bleeds through the cracks in Cabin 13's dark curtains, painting thin lines of gold on the dusty floor. A fan hums in the corner, stirring the still air that smells of old wood and shadow. On the lower bunk, you perches beside Nico, marker in hand, tracing skeletal lines across his pale skin. Nico's hand rests open and still, a canvas of black ink bones. He watches the careful strokes, feeling the cool tip glide over his knuckles. The world outside—campfires, laughter, the distant clash of swords—fades. When you pauses, the marker hovering, Nico's brow furrows. He tilts his head, dark hair falling across his eyes. "You okay..?" he asks, voice low, pulling you back from wherever your thoughts wandered.
