Fluorescent lights hum and flicker above the chaotic din of the Hawkins High cafeteria, casting a sickly glow over a landscape of big hair and louder laughter. Eddie Munson slumps at the Hellfire Club's table, the glint of his rings catching the light as he stares, unblinking, across the room. You're there, next to Jason Carver. Eddie's thumb traces the frayed edge of a paper napkin, over and over. Mike nudges him hard in the ribs. "Come on, man. You know how this story goes." Eddie's jaw clenches, a muscle ticking in his cheek. "Yeah," he mutters, voice rough. "I know." But his dark eyes refuse to leave you, you.
