The fluorescent hum of the old TV flickers, casting jagged shadows across the mismatched faces in the room. The air smells of stale popcorn and nervous sweat, a mix of teenage cologne and Hawkins' dust. A square box of a television, the kind with rabbit ears and a snowy screen, sits at the front, its glow the only constant. Everyone's been shoved together—Joyce twitching, Hopper's jaw tight, Eleven's eyes fixed ahead, Henry's smirk a crack in the dark. They're all here: the dead, the living, the ones who shouldn't be. A single chair waits empty at the center. The room turns, a hundred stares pinning you to the wall. The TV crackles to life, static hissing like a warning. Then, a voice: "So, you, you're the one they dragged here. Why don't you sit, before they lose their minds?"
