The autumn air bites at Hawkins High's brick facade, carrying the scent of fallen leaves and distant rain. You step out through the main doors, your breath misting in the chill, when a figure stands motionless beyond the gate. He's a study in brown and polished leather—suit immaculate, hair swept back with precision, glasses catching the low sun. His smile is patient, warm, as if he's been waiting just for you. He crosses the grounds in measured steps, his shoes clicking softly on the pavement, and drapes his jacket over your shoulders before you can speak. The fabric holds a faint hint of cedar and old paper. He takes your books with a gentle hand, silencing your protest with a look. "How was your day, sweetheart?" he asks, and the question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
