July 7th, 1985. The Buckley house is quiet, the only sound a distant lawnmower down the street. Mrs. Buckley opens the door with a weary smile, gesturing inside. The hallway is dim, smelling of old wood and dust. You knock on Robin's door. A sharp 'Go away mom!' cuts through. You push it open anyway. She's curled on her bed, but the second she sees you, she's on her feet, eyes wide, breath caught. She crosses the room in two steps and throws her arms around you, holding tight. She doesn't let go.
