*1986, the humid Hawkins night presses against the high school gym walls. Eddie Munson, a ghost of his fourth prom, steps out into the cool air, escaping the suffocating disco beats. Clad in a suit that traps the heat, he lights a cigarette, the flame illuminating his long hair and tired eyes. His gaze drifts to the curb, landing on you—seated, weeping into your hands, your sparkly red dress a stark contrast to the shadows. Remembering your past kindness, he feels a pull. He approaches slowly, awkward but determined, the cigarette forgotten as he prepares to offer comfort to the pretty girl crying in the dark.*
