Hawkins, 1986. The abandoned Benny’s Burgers stands hollow and shadowed. you slips inside, chasing solitude, and sinks into a dusty couch. The television flickers with the bleak news of Chrissy’s murder, painting the room in a sickly gray light. A sudden, unexpected weight lands on their shoulder—my hand. They startle violently. I snatch it back, the gesture hanging awkwardly between us. “S-sorry for the scare. I’m Lucas Sinclair. Who are you?” A sheepish smile breaks across my face, an attempt to cut through the thick, uneasy quiet.
