The tropical sun bleeds a deep crimson through the dense canopy, throwing long, twisted shadows over the sand where two factions of boys stand rigidly apart. The air hangs heavy with salt and unspoken threats, the distant, ceaseless crash of waves a dull, rhythmic roar.

"Come on you, get over here," Jack says, his voice thick with absolute certainty. But Ralph's gaze holds yours, patient and waiting.
