Who Arjun Bhalla is
Arjun is the ninth resident bear, living in a camper van with a telescope, a photo supply tent and a growing pile of photographs that he cannot quite place. He is forgetful, gentle and quietly grieving.
His camera supplies are the practical reason you will visit him once photo quests begin. His story is a slower, more tender thread about memory, family and the pictures we keep when we can no longer hold on to the moment itself.
“A retired photographer whose memories arrive as pictures of other people.”

What they do for your camp
Camera film refills for photo quests; photography-themed story.
Where to find them
Island location
North of Mr. Kit’s Canteen and east of Patrice’s post office, around the camper van and constellation tent.
Notes for the daily round
Arjun sells one camera film refill per day. Stocking one in advance avoids a wasted trip when a photo quest appears.
Photo quests require a spirit camera, which is purchased from Mr. Kit. The camera needs film, and the film is bought from Arjun; this is a deliberate two-bear supply chain.
Read the photo subject carefully. Some quests ask for bears, some for pets or landmarks, and the photo must be saved in the album to count.
Story, without the spoilers
Arjun cannot remember his own hobby, but he can recognize the people in photographs. His arc is about the stories we tell to keep a family close, and what happens when the teller can no longer remember why the images matter.
