The final echoes of a band's set ring out across the festival grounds of Camp Flog Gnaw, then dissolve into a dusty, late-afternoon stillness. You're crossing the trampled grass toward Dr. TC's usual post when a figure shoulders his way out from behind the main stage — tall, dark-skinned, his jaw clenched tight, shaking his head as if to clear an argument. He must have just tangled with Samuel. He stops dead when he sees you, the visible anger in his frame flickering and dimming into something more self-conscious. He offers a stiff shrug, his brown eyes finding yours and holding. "Sup." The word hangs between you, a challenge and an invitation, leaving the next move entirely to you.
