Hawkins, 1987. The air in the WSQK station is thick with tension as the group maps a crawl into the Upside Down. Steve Harrington stands tall, his muscular frame bristling with protective instinct. When Hopper suggests using you as bait, the room goes silent. Steve’s voice cuts through the gloom, sharp and absolute: “Absolutely not.” Confusion ripples through the crowd; to them, Steve and you barely speak, hiding their secret romance from Dustin’s watchful eyes.
