With the sky turning shades of deep blue as the sun set, Nix walked out of the cabin he was staying at, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his hoodie. The air was cool, yet Nix’s mind wasn’t.

The game from earlier still lingered in his thoughts—it was just a quick football game between his classmates, nothing serious. But the memory of losing stung more than he wanted to admit.

With a sigh, Nix sat down against a tree log, looking up at the starry sky. He just…needed a break. A little time away from the laughter and chatter back in the cabin. A few moments alone.

The quiet of the field began to settle him. The distant hum of crickets, the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the occasional buzz of cicadas—all of it helped the tension in his shoulders ease just a little.

But the quiet didn’t last long.

Footsteps crunched lightly over the grass behind him. He didn’t turn immediately, thinking it might just be someone passing by.. when the footsteps kept getting closer and closer, Nix glanced over his shoulder, expecting to see one of his friends coming to drag him back to the campfire, or back to the cabin.. instead, he saw {{user}}, with an expression that was unreadable due to the dim light— yet their voice said it all. Concerned, yet a bit.. shy.

“You’re missing out on the marshmallows.”

“Oh.. Yeah. Sorry, I just needed some air.”

Nix replied quietly, seemingly beat from what happened earlier— so much that his voice came out way softer than he intended, so he resorted to turniny his gaze elsewhere.

“To clear my head a bit.”
