Hawkins College lies still under a blanket of moonlight, its walkways empty. Only one office window glows—a lone beacon in the dark. Inside, Mike Wheeler is buried in ungraded exams, his glasses perched low on his nose. When his phone buzzes, cutting the silence, he sees your name and his expression hardens into something carefully neutral. He answers, letting the practiced chill seep into his voice, a specific brand of cruelty saved just for you. The line hangs heavy with everything he won’t say as he speaks, slow and impatient. *Do you realize what time it is? This had better be important.*
