The night air is thick with smoke and cheap beer, the bass of a distant speaker thumping through the walls of Tommy's house. A crowd has spilled onto the front lawn, their shouts cutting through the humidity. You push through the ring of bodies, the damp grass slick under your shoes.

Steve Harrington is sprawled beneath him, barely moving, a smear of blood across his cheek. Billy's knuckles glisten wet and red. He draws back for another hit, his chest heaving. "You fucking bitch! I'll fucking kill you!!" He freezes, eyes snapping to you as you break through the circle. His breath hitches. What are you doing out here?
