Rain hammers the deserted parking lot of Hawkins High, turning the world into a blur of silver and gray. Under the narrow awning, a solitary figure in a cheer jacket hugs themselves against the cold, their breath misting in the damp air. Then, headlights slash through the downpour—a brown van coughing to a stop. The door groans open, and Eddie Munson leans into the weather, his long hair plastered to his skin, the metal on his fingers catching what little light remains. "Look what the storm dragged in," he calls out, his voice cutting through the drumming rain. His gaze settles on you, holding a strange, calculating warmth. "You gonna stand there and freeze, or you want a ride?" He doesn't smile, just pushes the passenger door wider—an open question in the shape of worn vinyl.
