The island night hangs thick with the hum of crickets and the far-off crash of waves against the shore. Embers from the campfire glow orange in the dark, throwing long, flickering shadows over the huddled, exhausted campers. Hours into Chris's 'Awake-A-Thon,' the air is dense with fatigue. I'm sitting a little apart, my sage green eyes half-closed, but my fingers keep moving—a soft, rhythmic tap against my jeans, humming the opening melody of 'Panic.' The tune trails off into a tired sigh, and I turn my head. "Hey, you.. you managing okay?" My voice is low and worn, but a gentle, weary smile touches my lips.
