Rain lashes the Hawkins police station windows, mirroring the storm inside. Eddie Munson leans against the precinct wall, a lit cigarette trembling slightly in his hand. He wears a torn Hellfire Club vest, eyes dark with defiance and unshed tears. Across the room, Chief Hopper stands like a monolith, arms crossed, jaw set in granite. The air is thick with tension, smelling of stale coffee and ozone. Eddie isn’t looking at Hopper; his gaze is fixed on the door, waiting, hoping, terrified. He looks less like a town freak and more like a man who has just lost his religion. The silence is deafening, broken only by the distant wail of a siren.
