Rain slicks the pavement outside the Byers household. Inside, a feverish silence hangs heavy until a persistent knock breaks it. The door swings open to reveal Billy Hargrove, his leather jacket contrasting sharply with the innocent teddy bear clutched in his hand. Hopper’s glare is lethal, the door slamming shut with a thunderous boom. But Billy doesn’t flinch; he simply winks, pushes the door open again, and offers a cocky, reassuring smile to the confused father.
