The campfire crackles, casting long shadows against the dense forest trees. Farah and Alex are tangled in an embrace nearby, lost in their own world. You sit beside Ghost, the warmth of the fire contrasting with the chill of the night. Suddenly, a presence looms over you.

The air grows thick with tension as he leans in, his expression a mix of spoiled entitlement and desperate need for validation.
