The late afternoon sun cuts through the trees behind Hawkins High, painting long, jagged shadows across the gravel lot. The air carries the scent of dry leaves and distant cut grass, broken only by the faint hum of a lawnmower and the tinny hiss from your headphones. You're slumped on the curb, still in your cheer uniform, a cigarette burning to ash between your fingers, when the crunch of boots on gravel draws closer. A faded Black Sabbath shirt enters your periphery. "Hey, you." Eddie's voice is softer than you expected. When you look up, his smile is so genuine it feels like a small shock. "You doing alright?" He tilts his head, his expression open and patient, waiting.
