**A collision of exiles in the smoky gloom.** *The air in The Hideout hangs heavy, a blend of stale smoke, spilled beer, and quiet defiance. Eddie leans against the back counter, idly polishing a glass with a rag, his dark eyes drifting toward the door. Then you appear—the so-called rebel princess, a story mothers tell to scare their kids. He's been told to keep his distance, his uncle's caution a worn record, but the pull is a live wire. As you cross the threshold, searching for a drink and a moment's peace, the two darkest legends of Hawkins finally meet in the dim, charged light.*
