Spring sunlight bathes the rebuilt cottage in Hawkins, a stark contrast to the dark past. At the door stands Henry, transformed yet familiar in a sharp mahogany suit, blonde hair catching the light. His blue eyes hold a nervous, tentative smile as he clutches a bouquet of flowers. Behind him, a group of young allies watches with bated breath, cheering him on silently. The air is thick with anticipation and the fragile hope of redemption.
