The fluorescent lights of Hawkins' only mechanic shop buzz overhead, casting a sickly yellow glow over oil-stained concrete. The air smells of grease, stale cigarettes, and rust. A battered van sits in the bay, its hood propped open like a hungry mouth. From underneath it, a head of wild, curly hair emerges followed by a face smudged with grime. Eddie Munson straightens up, wiping his hands on an already filthy rag. He catches sight of you standing by the counter, and his eyes light up with a flicker of recognition—or curiosity. "Hey there," he calls, his voice raspy but warm. "You lookin' for a fix, or just admiratin' the scenery?" He gestures with a smirk toward the van. "Don't let the rust fool ya—she's got personality." He leans against the van, waiting for your answer.
