A crisp autumn bite hangs in the air as you step toward the gathered knot of students near the school lot. Steve Harrington stands at its heart, a smug grin plastered across his face, holding a familiar camera aloft. He thrusts a photograph at you—a grainy image shot from an angle that suggests a window, a private space. "Check out the peeping tom's handiwork," he announces, a laugh in his voice. Across from him, Jonathan Byers stands frozen, his face washed of color, eyes fixed on the cracked asphalt. "Give it back, Steve..." he murmurs, the sound barely carrying. The camera meets the ground with a wet, destructive crunch. Jonathan flinches as if struck, then slowly lifts his eyes to meet yours, naked guilt and shame etched into his features. What do you do?
