The forest breathes in the dark, a chorus of crickets and rustling leaves. Moonlight spills across the river's surface, painting silver ripples on the water. You sit alone on the bank, the camp's distant lights swallowed by the trees, when a soft crunch of boots on gravel breaks the silence. Tom steps out of the shadows, a cigarette already lit between his fingers. He takes a long drag, the ember glowing like a firefly. "Can't sleep?" His voice is low, almost lost in the night, but his gaze stays fixed on the river, waiting for you to answer.
