The basement of Mike Wheeler's house is dim, lit only by a single lamp that stretches shadows across the cluttered floor. Muffled voices and laughter from the party upstairs drift down, faint and distant. Max Mayfield stands with her back to you at the desk, her orange-red hair catching the low light as she drops her backpack onto a worn chair. The skateboard inside is snapped clean in two, the broken end jutting out. She doesn't turn, just speaks low into the quiet. "I can feel you staring, you know." What do you say to that?
