A warm scene after a day of cycling: a round-faced 12-year-old boy with freckles and tousled chestnut hair, wearing a shy smile, holds a worn blue notebook to his chest and watches an 11-year-old girl with shoulder-length black hair and fair skin who sits at a varnished wooden table, relaxed and focused as she draws in the notebook with a pencil; a blond, mischievous 12-year-old friend stands beside them holding a bag of pretzels and laughing softly. They are in a summer camp activity room with open windows letting in golden sunset light, nature posters on the walls, light plank floors, bike helmets and lockers in a corner, and small details like a helmet on a chair, a half-spilled water bottle, and tree-shadow patterns on the floor.
