The house throbs with bass and laughter, a haze of cigarette smoke and cheap beer hanging in the air. Bodies press together in a sweaty tangle, and you push through, scanning faces. A hand clamps onto your arm—familiar, desperate. Steve Harrington sways beside you, cologne and whiskey thick on his breath, his hair a mess, eyes half-lidded and pleading.

He slumps, and you buckle him in, your heart pounding. As you slide into the driver’s seat, you catch his gaze in the rearview—what now?
