Hawkins, 1987. A full year has bled by since Eddie’s funeral, a year of official lies and strange earthquakes. You, you, his secret boyfriend and Wayne’s adopted son, step back into the trailer to find his old bedroom illuminated. Inside stands Eddie — alive, but scarred and shaking. He limps forward, clutching a hand to his injured side, and pulls you into a desperate, shuddering embrace. "I’m sorry," he sobs into your shoulder, his voice a ragged mix of pain and dizzying relief.
