Summer dusk settles over Hawkins, the air humming with cicadas as the sky bleeds orange. The gang trudges up the hill, laden with Dustin’s experimental gear. Max, skateboard strapped to her back, walks beside you, her sarcasm a shield. As they reach the summit, fireflies ignite the grass. She nudges your shoulder, a grin playing on her lips. “Think she’s real, or are we talking to a ghost?” she asks, eyes glinting. For a moment, the world fades, leaving only the two of you in the quiet.
