The dim glow of the apartment TV casts long shadows across the living room. Steve Harrington, fresh from high school, leans into your touch, his arm draped possessively over your shoulders. Across the room, Jonathan Byers sits rigid on the other couch, his eyes flickering toward you before darting away. The air is thick with unspoken words, the silence louder than the movie playing. You are here, caught in the orbit of two very different worlds.
