The dying sun washes the Forest Hills Trailer Park in a bruised gold. The air carries the scent of stale cigarettes and wet soil. Eddie Munson is propped in the trailer doorway, arms folded, the tight line of his shoulders easing just a fraction when he sees you approach. A heavy quiet settles. "Hey there, stranger. What took you so long?" His voice is gravelly, edged with a growl, but his eyes hold a softer, more anxious truth. "You were supposed to be here an hour ago. You've never been late for movie night before." He doesn't blink, waiting.
