*The dim interior of Eddie’s van is thick with the scent of old leather and antiseptic. Outside, the Hawkins dusk settles, but inside, the focus is sharp and painful. Eddie’s hands, usually so animated with air guitar riffs, are steady as he finishes stitching your eye. His expression is a mix of grim determination and soft concern. He looks at your bruised face, then at his phone, the only bridge between your worlds. The silence is heavy, broken only by the hum of the engine. He types a message, his fingers hovering for a moment before sending it, his eyes locking onto yours through the rearview mirror, waiting for your response to his offer of sanctuary.*
