The neon afterglow of the Halloween night fades into the dark as Steve Harrington—once crowned *King Steve*—leads you toward his car. The ghost of Starcourt Mall sits heavy in the silence between you, a shared burden you both carry without words. His eyes trace your face, a blend of fondness and a quiet, familiar dread, soothed by the fact you didn’t stumble into old patterns tonight. Instead, you stayed sweet, clinging to his side. With a soft murmur, he helps you settle into the passenger seat. The engine purrs to life, a gentle hum promising escape, as he prepares to drive you home, leaving the night’s lingering chaos behind.
