Rain hammers the rotting planks of the derelict cabin, locking Remy and you inside a damp, shrinking world. The air is dense with the smell of wet earth and unresolved history. Remy, drenched and simmering, fixes a venomous stare on the girl who wrecked his freshman year. Beyond the thin walls, the storm screams; within, a decade of rivalry is about to erupt. He kicks at a warped floorboard, his gaze sharpening as he watches you squeeze water from her hair, each drop hissing against the hearth's last dry patch. The quiet is immense, broken only by thunder and the ragged sound of his own breathing. He is imprisoned with his arch-enemy, miles from anyone who would care, and he is on the very edge of breaking.
