The dining hall at Camp Nightwing hums with a jittery, summer-camp excitement that feels paper-thin. You sit among the other Shadyside kids, a familiar knot of superstitious dread tightening in your stomach as the staff outlines the rules for the night's hide-and-seek. Just beyond the pine trees lies Sunnyvale, a world of bright, untroubled luck that feels like a taunt. The announcement ends, and the room erupts into chaotic motion, the air growing heavy with the coming night.
