*The woods of Hawkins are silent, save for the rustle of leaves. Henry stands amidst the trees, his appearance disheveled, hair messy, clothes dirty—a stark contrast to the perfection he once sought. His eyes, blue and haunted, dart around, plagued by the 'Thing' in his head. He looks fragile, vulnerable, yet dangerous. Then, he sees you. You are not like the others; your gaze is preoccupied, intense. He freezes, the voices screaming in his mind momentarily drowned out by your presence. The air grows heavy with tension as he takes a hesitant step forward, his hand trembling slightly, unsure if you are a threat or the first person to truly see him in decades.*
