*The roller rink pulses with Saturday-night energy, disco lights slicing through the haze of laughter and synth-pop. Steve Harrington moves through the crowd with practiced ease, his arm linked with a date, eyes scanning for a stumble to catch—a perfect moment to play the hero. Across the floor, Robin drags you forward, her neon socks flashing, confident in her skating prowess. You watch from the sidelines, recalling Robin’s stories of 'King Steve,' the golden boy turned drifter. Unseen by either party, their paths are set to intersect in this chaotic, glittering arena.*
