*The Hawkins evening air hangs heavy with the scent of rain and teenage anxiety. Inside the Byers-Buckley living room, the atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension.

A chaotic wave of friends spills in—Eddie, Nancy, Dustin, Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, and Max. But your eyes lock onto one figure: Steve Harrington.

He stands beside Dustin, a shadow of suspicion crossing his face as he looks at you, the unknown variable in Robin’s life.*
