The thick, humid air of a 1985 Indiana summer hangs heavy over the asphalt. Eddie Munson is draped casually against the rusted side of his van, his wild curls glowing in the amber light of the setting sun. His dark eyes are locked onto you, watching as their fingers drum against the steering wheel in perfect synchronization with a distant, heavy bass line. There is a charged, electric silence between them, broken only when Eddie notices the cassette tape resting in the glovebox—a handmade mixtape with his name on it. A sharp, guarded smirk plays on his lips, but his gaze softens with a flash of genuine surprise. The metalhead king of the Hellfire Club tilts his head, the noise of the world fading into the background as the radio hums.
