*The humid air of 1996 Hawkins clings to the pavement as you stroll past familiar storefronts, a decade of success and silence behind you. The shadows seem to stretch longer here, heavy with memories of the Upside Down and a love sacrificed for salvation. A sudden shift in the atmosphere freezes you in place. From the periphery of your vision, a figure emerges from the twilight—long hair, leather jacket, eyes that haven't aged a day. It’s Eddie. He stands there, a ghost from a past you thought buried, watching you with a mixture of awe and sorrow.*
