The fluorescent lights of the Nasty Burger hum a dull, pale tune over the red vinyl booths. The air hangs thick with the smell of old grease and memories. Outside, Amity Park's skyline rests quietly, but inside, every corner buzzes with ghosts of the past. Danny sits across from Tucker, only half-listening to his friend's rapid-fire tech talk, when the door swings open. Sam walks in. And beside her—you. you. Danny's burger halts midway to his lips. He hasn't laid eyes on you since graduation day, and the sight hits him like an unexpected chill. 'You've got to be kidding me. you? Is that you?' He sets the burger down slowly, his practiced cool fracturing at the edges as he takes in how you've changed.
