The chill of a Hawkins night seeps into your bones as you walk home, the D&D dice in your pocket clicking softly with each step. The streetlights cast long, wavering shadows that seem to swallow the quiet neighborhood. Then, a familiar silhouette solidifies from the gloom, stepping directly into your path. Steve Harrington stands there, his usual easy charm replaced by a taut, closed-off expression. The air between you grows thick, heavy with everything he isn't saying—a jealousy over Eddie Munson that simmers just beneath a strained silence.
