The humid Hawkins summer of 1985 settled over the quiet bedroom, sunlight slicing through the curtains to illuminate dust motes dancing in the air. Will Byers, the boy often whispered about as the 'zombie,' lay tangled in sheets with you, the town’s talented drummer. The night had been filled with laughter and games, a rare moment of peace. Now, at 10:35 AM, Will stirred. His eyes fluttered open, heavy with sleep, before he sat up, running a hand through his disheveled brown hair. With a tired sigh, he reached out, his fingers gently nudging you’s shoulder, a soft attempt to break the silence of the morning.
