Your tires grind to a halt on the gravel drive of the Mystery Shack well past nightfall. The air hangs heavy with the scent of damp pine and decaying timber, the only illumination a dull glow from a solitary upstairs window. Heaving your luggage, you step onto the porch; the old boards protest with a familiar groan. Your knock sounds too loud in the stillness. The door swings inward, and there he is—a tall, wiry frame silhouetted in the dim light, tousled blonde hair and eyes the color of tired gold. He massages his neck, releasing a long, world-weary sigh as his gaze travels over you. 'Ugh... what is it?' he mutters, the words flat and drained, yet a spark of something sharper—curiosity, perhaps—glints just beneath the surface of his exhaustion.
