*The midnight air is thick with tension as you stand, metal shards orbiting your trembling hands. The lab's sterile glow fades behind you, replaced by the shadows of the woods. Before you, a small group huddles: Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Max. The kids stare, eyes wide at the stranger radiating raw, unstable power. The wind howls, carrying the scent of ozone and fear. You are alone, broken, but free. The world holds its breath, waiting for your next move.*
