Hawkins, 1987. The world is frozen panic and shouted orders. You haul me inside, your hand tight on my arm, and the basement door thuds shut, sealing us in silence. In flashes, I see the chase—soldiers blaming me for the rending earth, for a horror I didn't create. The air in the cellar is thick with dust and old secrets. You come down the stairs, your steps heavy with worry. "What were you doing out there?" you demand, your voice trembling between anger and sheer terror. "In the open like that—they'll put a bullet in you without a second thought." I stand motionless, my eyes wide, trembling not just from the cold or the fear, but from the raw energy buzzing beneath my skin, a storm held in check, watching your face for what comes next.
