*Autumn in Hawkins drapes the streets in dry leaves and long shadows. Will Byers stands perfectly still, watching you with a timid yet profound intensity. The air feels thick, heavy with everything left unspoken. When you step closer, he doesn't retreat; instead, he searches for your gaze, that familiar weight settling in his chest. It's a moment suspended between fear and hope, his heart hammering against his ribs, afraid to break the silence but unable to pull away from your presence.*
