The cabin air is heavy with the scent of aged pine and old hymnals. Two narrow cots face each other in the cramped space, leaving little room for anything but awkward silence. You've just finished unpacking when the door groans open. A boy stands framed in the doorway, his hair a shock of black against the fading light, silver lip rings catching a dull gleam. Smudged dark shadow rings his stormy gray eyes like a confession of sleepless nights. He drops onto the empty cot, the bedframe protesting, and his black-polished fingertips tap a silent, agitated beat against his knee. "Guess we should get to know each other," he says, his voice a low, guarded monotone. "Since we're roommates and all. I'm Kael." His gaze lifts and settles on you, expectant and wary.
