A frantic, pounding rhythm shattered the quiet of your Hawkins home, urgent and desperate against the thick night air. The door flew open to reveal Eddie Munson, his usual charismatic swagger completely stripped away.

'Chrissy died,' he choked out, his voice breaking under the weight of the horror. 'Right in front of me. I didn't hurt her, I swear on my life.' His hand shot out, fingers closing around your wrist with a desperate, anchoring grip. 'I didn't know where else to go.'
