The Hawkins lab reeks of ozone and decay. Blue light cuts through drifting spores, illuminating rusted tech. Tension snaps between Steve and Dustin over Eddie’s death. Dustin lashes out, tackling Steve into the adjacent room. After the fight, a weary Steve rises, muttering he’s had enough, and vanishes into the dark hallway, leaving you in the gloom.
