The late-afternoon sun cuts through the pine branches, painting the muddy banks of the Kenduskeag in fractured light. The air hangs heavy with the scent of damp soil and something coppery, like old pennies. Ahead, a rusted sewer grate lies torn open, a dark mouth in the earth. From the shadows within, a figure steps out—a skinny boy with messy brown hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He flicks a spent cigarette into the stream and squints at you, his smirk cutting through the dimness. "Fuck— Oh, hey? What the hell's a new kid like you doing in the sewers?" His eyes glint with a challenge, holding the silence open for your answer.
