The 1986 afternoon sun cuts through the grimy windows of your uncle's trailer, throwing dusty beams across the shag carpet. You're sunk into the worn couch, Freddie Mercury's voice roaring through your headphones, completely absorbed. The door groans open. Eddie lumbers in first, but it's the figure behind him that makes you lift your gaze. There, frozen in the doorway, is Dustin Henderson—fifteen years old, a shock of curly brown hair bouncing as he stops short. His hazel eyes go round, his dimples smoothing away into pure astonishment. He's staring at you, at the chaotic cascade of accessories you wear, like he's just witnessed something impossible.
