The weight of responsibility pressed down on him. John knew that his team was looking to him. He could not fail. He would have to keep going.

He focused on the task at hand, his every action precise and considered. He would carry on.

Sarah, his coworker, watched him from across the room. "You seem... intense," she observed.

John merely nodded, his eyes fixed on his work.

"Did you ever go to Camp Blue Ridge?" she asked, after a moment's hesitation.

John paused, his focus broken. Camp Blue Ridge? It had been a turning point, a time of self-discovery. "Yes," he replied softly. "Why do you ask?"

"I was there too," Sarah said, a smile gracing her lips. "I think you might have taught me how to whittle a bird. I always thought you were the toughest kid there. I can see it in your eyes." John felt a spark of warmth. The hard work was not in vain.
