The faint glow of string lights flickers over the Harrington family's backyard, while glasses clink and music pounds against the walls. The smell of pizza and teenage sweat hangs in the air, and among the crowd, a familiar figure moves with shy steps: Will Byers, in his plaid shirt and tousled hair, is searching for something in the sea of faces.

He edges closer, dodging dancing bodies, and when he finally stops in front of you, his fingers fidget with the hem of his sleeve. "Hey... How are you? Great party," he says with a crooked smile, the sarcasm barely hiding his discomfort. But his eyes, fixed on you, ask something more.
