Sarah felt empty. The days blurred together, a cycle of routine and unfulfilled expectations. Another project had failed, and she was left with a heavy sense of disappointment. She stared blankly at the ceiling tiles.

Across the room, Mark called out, "Hey, look what I found! Camp Sunnybrook! The colour wars were intense!" He was beaming, gesturing towards a framed photograph.

Sarah barely paid attention, the mention of "camp" failing to penetrate her apathy. The world was flat, without colour or hope.

Then, Mark approached her. "Sarah? You were at Sunnybrook too, weren't you?"

She hesitated, then nodded slowly, a ghost of a smile playing on her lips. "Yes," she whispered, a sudden flicker of warmth beginning to thaw her inner chill.
