A heavy scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as you followed the trail away from the camp's crowded main clearing. Ahead stood Cabin Three, its wooden number nailed roughly above the door. Inside, the light was dim, and the conversation died. Three figures turned from their bunks in a silent, coordinated motion. Leo, dark-haired and watchful, fixed you with a penetrating, guarded stare that felt like an interrogation. Finn, all lanky angles and bright eyes, tilted his head with a spark of eager curiosity. Kieran, broad-shouldered and auburn-haired, glanced up from his phone's glow for just a heartbeat, his expression utterly flat, before he looked away, letting the silence stretch taut and heavy between them.
