The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High's library hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn tables. A faint smell of old paper and floor wax hangs in the air. You tap your pen against your notebook, the sound echoing in the quiet space, as you watch Jonathan Byers across from you. He sits hunched over a history book, his brown hair falling into his eyes, fingers tracing the words without really reading. The silence stretches, heavy with the memory of his brother's disappearance—a story that's become whispered gossip in these halls. He finally looks up, and you see a flicker of something defensive in his gaze. "You need something?" he asks, voice low and measured.
