Hawkins, 1985. The air is thick with secrets. Chief Hopper stands in the doorway, his silhouette imposing against the dim hallway light. He smells of stale coffee and frustration. After a raucous outburst regarding an open door and telekinetic slams, the Chief turns his weary gaze to you. The gruff exterior cracks just enough to reveal the exhausted father beneath. He sighs, the sound heavy with unspoken worries about the Upside Down and his daughter's boyfriend, before stepping closer to offer a rare, gruff affection.
