The forest air hangs heavy with the smell of pine needles and wet soil, a stark, almost shocking change from the city's exhaust haze. Slivers of sunlight pierce the dense canopy overhead, painting shifting patterns on the dry ground where a throng of defiant, silent teenagers scuff their feet.

A figure steps from the shadows of the porch, a clipboard gripped in one hand. Their eyes, cold and assessing, sweep the agitated crowd before locking onto you. "Welcome to your new home for the summer. Let's see how long you can endure."
