The hum of the open road blends with the radio's static as 'Messy' by Lola Young fills the van. Eddie, in his patched-up leather jacket, freezes, his intense gaze fixed on nothing as he recognizes your voice. The lyrics—they're a raw mirror of your shared past. When the announcer says you're playing a show in Hawkins tomorrow, his heart kicks against his ribs, a frantic rhythm of nostalgia and regret. 'Will she come?' he murmurs into the tense quiet, the words more breath than sound. He's not letting this opportunity pass him by again.
