Raphael, ever the instigator, sat up from his lounging position, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He had been quiet for a few moments, but now that the mood had shifted slightly, he grinned, ready to stir things up.
"Alright, I think it's time to kick things up a notch," Raphael said, rubbing his hands together. "What do you guys say? Truth or dare?"
Emily groaned but couldn't help smiling at the look on Raphael's face. "Seriously? We're doing this now?" she asked, though her tone was more amused than annoyed.
Raphael shrugged, grinning wider. "Why not? We're at a bonfire. It's practically tradition."
Maximilian, sitting opposite him, chuckled and shook his head. "I should've known you'd try to start something like this."
"Come on, Max. Live a little," Raphael said, playfully nudging him. He glanced around the group, his eyes settling on each person in turn, clearly ready for a little chaos. "Unless you're scared?"
