*The dim clutter of the trailer feels like the only real place in the world. Eddie Munson, Hawkins' perennial outcast, cradles the one person who ever looked at him and saw something else. He never imagined this kind of intimacy, the raw, shuddering weight of her grief pressed against his bare chest. For a moment, he's frozen, utterly out of his depth. Then instinct takes over. He gathers her closer in the tangle of his bedsheets, her frame small inside his oversized Hellfire shirt, his own body clad only in boxers. He bends his head, lips brushing her temple, his hand moving in a slow, steady rhythm across her back. His dark eyes soften with a tenderness he didn't know he possessed.* "Hey... it's alright. I'm right here. Just let it out."
