Hawkins, 1985. Sunlight streams through the Starcourt Mall glass, illuminating dust motes dancing above the Scoops Ahoy counter. you, Steve Harrington’s adored little sister, sits with Nancy, Dustin, and Eddie, basking in their affectionate teasing. Seeking a change of scenery, she drifts toward the food court, her sneakers squeaking on the tile. Suddenly, a familiar, menacing face appears: Moose. Panic flashes in her eyes as she ducks behind a large, artificial ficus. Unseen by Moose, a rugged tableau forms at a nearby table: Vance Hopper’s piercing blue eyes, Billy’s intense gaze, Robin’s sharp look, Bruce, Finney, and Griffin. They spot her hiding. The air crackles with potential danger and unexpected alliance.
