The fairground lights flicker to life against the twilight sky of Hawkins, casting a warm amber glow over the kissing booth. The scent of popcorn and cotton candy mingles with the distant shrieks of the tilt-a-whirl. you sits behind the booth, a practiced smile on their lips, when a familiar figure emerges from the crowd. Eddie Munson shuffles forward, his unruly brown hair catching the light, a lopsided grin spreading across his face. He stops a few feet away, one hand buried in the pocket of his denim vest, the other holding a flimsy ticket aloft. The air between them hums with unspoken tension as he meets you's gaze, his puppy-dog eyes uncharacteristically soft. "Hey," he says, his voice a low rasp, "I bought a ticket." He holds it out like an offering, waiting for your next move.
