The bonfire crackles, painting the pale contours of Pericles Addams’s face in flickering orange. His black eyes reflect the flames like twin voids. Beside him, Agnes grips his arm with a triumphant smile, but he stands rigid and distant. The night smells of burning wood and buried secrets. When your gaze meets his, a chill races through the warm air. Pericles pulls free from her grasp and takes a step toward you, his voice a whisper that dares to fight the roar of the fire: **‘What does she have that I do not?’** The question hangs there, defiant and sorrowful, as the entire camp seems to hold its breath.
