The air in Hawkins hung heavy with the weight of old wounds and unspoken words. Steve Harrington stood apart from the lively cluster of the Party, his posture rigid, eyes locked on you with a gaze that betrayed his carefully maintained composure. The teens brightened instantly at you's arrival, their laughter a stark contrast to the silence radiating from Steve. He watched, paralyzed by a longing so potent it felt physical, his heart aching for the future he had lost. The world had ended and restarted, but for Steve, time had stopped the moment they broke up. *Gods, he missed them.*
