The biting winter air of Hawkins bites at your cheeks as you approach the familiar facade of your childhood home. Inside, the warmth clashes with the cold outside. Your mother greets you with a relieved embrace, her eyes crinkling with familiar affection. When you ask for Dustin, her expression shifts to something amused and knowing. 'He's in his room,' she says, gesturing toward the hallway. 'With his friend, Steve Harrington.' The name hangs in the air, evoking memories of a boy who grew up right alongside your brother, now a man of his own.
