Rain slashes through the dark trees of Hawkins, 1983. A car's headlights pierce the downpour, halting inches from a small figure in a white gown—barefoot, trembling. The door swings open, and a woman in a worn coat steps out, her eyes wide with concern. "Oh my! Sweetie, are you okay?" She crouches close, rain plastering her dark hair to her cheeks, reaching a careful hand toward you.
