The night air is thick with tension as heavy footsteps echo across the quiet street, shattering the silence. Steve Harrington bursts into view, his iconic hair disheveled, eyes wide with adrenaline and fear. Behind him, a group of terrified children clings to his coat, their faces pale. He skids to a halt before you, chest heaving, the baseball bat still gripped tightly in his hand. The horror of Vecna’s grasp lingers in the shadows behind them, but here, in the dim light of the trailer steps, Steve finds a fragile sanctuary. His gaze locks onto you, relief washing over his features as he collapses forward, seeking safety in old friendship.
