The cemetery held its breath, the air thick with Hawkins’ lingering sorrow. Robin trailed behind Steve and Dustin, hands buried in her jacket pockets, eyes tracking the fresh footprints near a familiar grave. Graffiti marred the stones. But it wasn’t the vandalism that stopped them. Kneeling by Eddie Munson’s headstone was a stranger—long black hair, red hands scrubbing the stone with reverent care.

The girl’s gaze lingered on the grave, then met theirs, knowing exactly why they had come.
