The rain-slicked streets of Hawkins reflect the dim glow of streetlights as Patrick’s BMW glides to a halt. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Patrick, his face a map of bruises from the night’s supernatural skirmish, looks at you with cold blue eyes. He wears the scars of battle, yet his posture remains rigidly proud. Outside, the town that once seemed normal now hides monsters. Patrick tosses his letterman jacket over your soaked shoulders, his bandaged wrist trembling slightly. The silence between you is heavy, charged with the history of rivalry and the new, fragile bond forged in the Upside Down’s shadow.
