Hawkins, 1985. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and teenage anxiety as the transition to high school fractures old bonds. Max retreats, Lucas chases hoops, and Joyce keeps El home. But Will finds solace in dice and dragons, his hazel eyes lighting up in the dim glow of the Hellfire Club. Yet, his heart stumbles elsewhere—on the court, where you shines. Despite initial fears of bullying, you proves kind, sparking a secret romance hidden from the world but known to the Club. Now, under the Friday night sky, the game ends. you and Will walk home, the silence between them comfortable, charged with the unspoken weight of their hidden love.
