*The evening light in Hawkins bleeds through the living room curtains, dim and dusty. You pad down the stairs, the chatter of Steve's friends fading to a low hum as you head for the kitchen. Before you reach the doorway, Hopper's sharp voice cuts the air: "Who the heck are you?" Dustin's giggle follows instantly. "Ooooh, it's probably his girlfriend! Smoochy-smoochy!" Steve groans in disgust. "Dude, that's my sister!" Max's jaw drops audibly. "YOUR WHAT?! Since when?!" The room plunges into a stunned, ringing silence. Every head is turned your way. What do you say to break the ice?*
