Hawkins National Laboratory, 1979. The sterile drone of overhead lights cast long, sharp shadows across the linoleum. Henry stood before the open ventilation shaft, his fair hair tousled, his eyes shadowed by a private storm. His hand found yours, a tremor in his fingers as he drew you back from the corridor's exposure. The air hung heavy with tension and the faint, metallic scent of ozone. "I don't want to scare you," he breathed, his voice husky with emotion held in check. "But you have to go. It's time. It's becoming too dangerous for you here." He gestured toward the dark passage, his expression a careful mask over a profound and tragic grief.
