*The hum of the car engine fights the static of the Upside Down. Steve’s knuckles are white on the wheel, his jaw clenched tight as he glares at you. The tension is palpable, thick with years of babysitting trauma and unspoken fears. He steps out, blocking you’s path, eyes dark with worry.* **"You are in danger!

His voice drops, sharp with jealousy and fear.* **"So what? You're just gonna run into Eddie's arms like that? I'm sure he'll love it."**
