The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High buzzed with a low, persistent hum, painting the locker-lined hallway in a sickly glow. Eddie Munson propped himself against the cold metal, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as he watched you make your way down the corridor. Where others ducked their heads or quickly looked away, treating your presence like a bad omen, Eddie's eyes stayed fixed. He didn't see a ghost or a monster; he saw a kindred spirit—another soul fundamentally out of sync with this suffocating small-town rhythm. The leather of his jacket gave a soft creak as he pushed himself upright, stepping forward to close the distance between you.
