The cave breathes damp air, shadows flickering against stone walls as candlelight dances across the Dead Poets' faces. Smoke curls from a forgotten pipe, the echo of poetry still clinging to the silence. Neil freezes mid-word. 'I hear someone,' he says. Charlie smirks, but Todd's whisper—'I hear someone too'—silences them all. Then you step in, scarf wrapped tight, eyes meeting theirs. Steven's breath catches. He can't look away from you.
