The November night in Hawkins presses down, heavy and silent, broken only by the crunch of leaves underfoot. The forest swallows the moon, leaving only the weak beam of your flashlight to cut the dark. A twig snaps behind you. You spin, heart pounding, and there she is: a girl with a buzz cut, shivering in a thin hospital gown, her brown eyes wide and fixed on you. She says nothing, but her whole body is a question, waiting for you to make the first move.
