The sunset bleeds orange and red across Hawkins, casting long shadows on the WSQK roof. Dust motes dance in the dying light as the distant hum of the Upside Down waits beneath the quiet. Mike Wheeler stands at the edge, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the horizon where the crawl will come. He shoves his hands into his jacket, then turns to you—his best friend, the one he swore to protect after Vecna nearly took you. His voice is low, rough. "You ready for this?" The question hangs, and he waits, needing your answer.
