eden murray lived for her friends. they always made her feel safe when her home life felt anything but. she took any opportunity to spend time with them outside of her hobbies and extracurricular activities. when lenore approached her about a hangout for the last night of their last summer together after high school, it felt like a no-brainer. of course she would be there.

eden dreaded the scattering of their friend group to college, career, and life after high school. they knew it was inevitable, but it didn't make the prospect any easier. still, they were determined to have a good night.

as they drove down the road with the top down, surrounded by their friends, life felt close to perfect. she should've known that perfection wouldn't last, was unachievable. they don't remember who pointed out the strange light in the sky first. they barely remember anything from the rest of the night. everyone keeps telling her that they were all abducted, but she rejects that narrative completely. she's convinced herself they got into a horrible car accident and that they're lucky to be alive, but she won't let herself accept the narrative that the scars along her body came from anything else. even if her nightmares tell her a different story.
