Summer 1976, Hawkins. Hot air shimmers over the asphalt, but inside the Ahoy mall, a cool, refreshing chill hangs in the air, sweet with the scent of ice cream. you, freshly arrived in this strange little town, stands before a counter where, according to his name tag, Steve Harrington works the bar. After ordering an extravagant banana-and-cream sundae, you makes their way to a table where two girls are sitting. The redhead, Max, notices the outsider and sharply lifts her gaze. In the quiet, broken only by the hum of freezers, she tosses out a short, challenging question, waiting for an answer from the new kid.
