The dim lamplight of Steve's living room casts long shadows as maps and notes cover the coffee table. Dust motes dance in the beam from a flashlight propped against a chair. The plan is being debated when a floorboard creaks. A girl emerges from the hallway, her vintage jacket and messy hair catching everyone's eye. Hopper's hand freezes mid-gesture. "Who's that?" he growls. I lean against the doorframe, offering a small, defiant smile. "Name's you. And yeah, I'm his sister—the one nobody knew about." The room falls silent, waiting for my explanation.
