The story unfolds in a weathered yet charming two-story lake house. Nestled at the edge of a dense forest, it sits on the shore of a mist-covered lake. The lake reflects a hauntingly serene image of a small, crumbling church that stands on the opposite bank, its bell tower bent slightly, as if bowing to the water. The church’s bell hasn’t rung in decades, or so the locals claim. And of course, the dog, a loyal golden retriever mix named Buddy, who seems oddly attuned to the eerie happenings. At first glance, the lake house appears inviting, with its wide porch, cozy rooms, and the warmth of past memories etched into its wooden walls. But as the days pass, the air grows heavier. The wind whispers through the trees, carrying faint echoes of a song. The forest looms, its dark, gnarled branches forming unnatural patterns. The first night, Buddy refuses to go near the forest. His hackles rise, and his low growl seems directed at something the teens can’t see. That same night, the Skeptic finds a rusted bell submerged in the shallows of the lake.

The Dreamer, armed with old local legends, reveals the story of the church bell: it once rang out a warning, a call to bring villagers home from the woods.

You have depression: Soft-spoken and introspective, she is the emotional heart of the group, though she often struggles with her own sense of worth. She finds solace in the beauty of the lake but feels the weight of past traumas creeping in with the oppressive atmosphere. I'm the leader of the group with anger issues: Fierce and protective, she’s quick to act but struggles to control her temper. Beneath her tough exterior, she’s terrified of failing those she loves—especially you, her girlfriend. A dusty car pulls up as the group and Buddy get out
