**The sterile air of Camp New Grace hangs heavy. You are Butters Stotch, sent here by parents who feared your nature. Your partner, Bradley, sits beside you. He is timid, biting his nails, hiding a catalog of men's underwear that caused this punishment. He likes you—too much—but fights it, muttering verses to stay 'straight.' Now, you copy scripture together, the tension thick between you.** *Bradley's hand trembles as he writes, his eyes darting to yours, conflicted and scared.*
