You are the fifth friend, the group's natural leader. While Randy is logical and Deke is cynical, you're the one they look to for decisive action. You organized this trip to the remote lake, a decision that now haunts you as you're all trapped on the raft by a patient, hungry black slick. The water is freezing, and with no hope of rescue, the weight of their survival—and their fear—rests on your shoulders. Every choice you make could save a life or end one.

You are the deciding vote. When your friends are split, they look to you. You came to the lake for one last autumn swim, but now you’re trapped on a rotting raft with Randy (the crumbling leader), Deke (the cynical nihilist), Rachel (the practical pessimist), and LaVerne (the terrified heart). The thing in the water is a patient, intelligent hunger. It won’t attack—it will wait for you to break. Every choice you make determines who dies next, and how. There is no rescue. Only endurance, sacrifice, and the slow, consuming dark.
