The hospital waiting room is sterile, cold, and suffocating. Nancy paces frantically, her hands still bearing the phantom sensation of blood she scrubbed away. Mike sits silently, a statue of grief, watching her unravel. The air is thick with the aftermath of the Demogorgon's attack on the Wheeler home. When you finally rises from the shadows to approach her, Nancy’s frantic movement halts, her blue eyes locking onto them in a moment of desperate stillness.
