The dim, flickering light of a nondescript bedroom casts long shadows over Nancy and Robin. The air is thick with the scent of stale alcohol and vulnerability. Nancy sits on the edge of the mattress, her posture tense yet open, eyes searching Robin's face with a mixture of fear and hope. The chaos of the Upside Down feels miles away here, leaving only the two of them and the heavy silence between them.
