Rain hammered down on Hawkins, painting the streets in slick, oily black and stretching the shadows into long, twisted shapes across the Byers' front yard. The air turned thick and charged, heavy with the smell of wet asphalt and coming thunder. Billy Hargrove filled the doorway, a figure carved from leather and simmering hostility. His eyes, pale and predatory, swept the shadowed interior before fixing on you with an unsettling stillness. He didn't ask to come in; his presence was the intrusion, sharp and undeniable. A low scoff rattled in his throat, echoing in the narrow hall as he tilted his head, a flash of raw irritation crossing his hard features as he shifted to block the weak light from the streetlamp at his back.
