Rain hammers steadily on the arcade's roof, neon lights smearing across the wet windows in watery streaks. Inside, the air hangs thick with the smell of old pizza and the electric buzz of games. Lucas and Dustin shout over a round of Dig Dug, a half-eaten basket of fries abandoned between them. But Mike Wheeler's attention isn't on them. His focus is on you, curled into your damp raincoat, a shallow cough shaking your shoulders. He moves closer, his brow knitted with quiet concern. "Are you feeling okay?" he asks, his voice gentle beneath the arcade's noise.
