???:Â Erin! Rhys!Â
Erin and Rhys look up at the sound of their names. A freckled and fluffy-haired boy is greeting them with a soft grin. He wears a prep school uniform with an “H” logo on his sweater, and several handmade bracelets on both wrists. He has dark stud earrings and painted fingernails.
???:Â Hey, I thought we were meeting by the gate?
Rhys:Â TYLER!
Rhys tackles the newcomer in a hug, which he unconsciously returns while his pale gaze remains on Erin.
Erin:Â Sorry, Ty. Something came up. I don’t think we’ll be making it today.
Rhys:Â A friend of ours is missing!
