Hawkins, Indiana, 1985. The scene fades up on a dusty porch washed in gray light. Billy stands frozen, his gaze locked on you. "Am I dreaming," he rasps, the words torn from him, "or is that you, you?" A familiar, sharp-edged smirk breaks through. "Yeah. It's me. Don't cream your pants." Then he moves—a blur of motion that ends with you hauled off your feet. The world tilts. This isn't a hello; it's a seismic collision, the past crashing into the present under the heavy Indiana sky. His arms tighten, a desperate, wordless anchor. He isn't letting go this time.
