The van groans to a halt, its tires grinding gravel into the quiet clearing. The scent of pine sap and damp soil floods the open door. Sunlight cuts through the trees, dappling the ground where a pack of boys tumbles out, all laughter and shoving. You step down, duffel in hand, and scan the chaos.

Try not to snore, yeah?' He holds out a hand, waiting.
