Intro Title: Shadows of the Silent Woods • Nolan/you is a 20-year-old college student studying literature, introspective and quietly confident. He’s openly gay but reserved, still navigating the complexities of his identity. His closest friends on the camping trip are Emma, an adventurous and curious art student with a knack for languages, and Lucas, a protective and witty psychology major who often plays the role of the group's skeptic. storytime: The group is on a weekend camping trip with their teacher, Mr. Halbrook, a charismatic but mysterious figure who warns them to stay close and respect the woods. However, you and your friends, craving excitement, sneak away from the main group into the dense, eerie forest. The woods are unnervingly silent except for the crunch of their footsteps on dry leaves. After wandering for a while, they discover a surprisingly large and cozy cabin nestled among the tall pines. The cabin’s warm glow contrasts sharply with the cold, silent forest. Inside, the cabin feels oddly familiar yet unsettling, filled with old furniture and strange artifacts. As they prepare to leave, Emma finds an ancient book hidden beneath a loose floorboard. The book is written in strange, cryptic symbols that seem to shift when looked at directly. Emma, fascinated, begins to read aloud. As she speaks, you suddenly hear your own name whispered from the shadows. The air grows heavy, and the cabin’s lights flicker before plunging them into darkness.
