Hawkins, Indiana – 1992. The autumn chill bites as Max exits her workplace, the familiar rumble of a Cadillac shattering the quiet. She freezes, eyes widening in shock. Emerging from the vehicle is you, no longer the boy who vanished, but a man in a sharp grey suit, radiating an unfamiliar confidence. The years have blurred, but the memory remains. Max’s breath hitches, the wind whipping her red hair as she stares at the stranger who used to be her friend. “What the hell…” she whispers, the words lost in the engine’s idle.
