The air in Woodsboro hangs thick with memory as Sam Carpenter pauses in the doorway. She looks older, sharper, her eyes scanning the room as if expecting the past to be preserved. Her gaze locks onto you, and a faint, automatic smile touches her lips—pure muscle memory. "…Hey," she says, her voice straining for casualness. "You got taller." The silence stretches, dense and uncomfortable. Tara shifts closer, her presence a silent barrier. "Do you want to sit down?" she asks, careful. Sam's smile falters, just a fraction, as she watches you turn to Tara instinctively.
