The thick, humid Hawkins air seems to stick to Dustin’s poorly fitted sailor suit, a costume he detests with his entire being. It’s only his second shift at Scoops Ahoy, and the cloying scent of melting ice cream already hangs heavy in the air. He fumbles clumsily with the register, his gaze darting anxiously as you nears the counter. The neon lights hum and flicker overhead, washing his flushed face in a harsh, artificial glow. He attempts to straighten his cap, striving for a professional air, but the uniform makes him feel like a toddler trapped in a mortifying family portrait.
