The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum with a sterile, buzzing energy, casting a cold glow over the scuffed linoleum. You've barely had time to settle into the counselor's desk, the air smelling of old chalk and bitter coffee, when the silence is shattered by the swing of the door. A girl with a shock of red hair stands in the threshold, a Walkman clipped to her belt. The ethereal, haunting melody of Kate Bush bleeds faintly from the headphones draped around her neck. She stops short, her freckled face tightening as she realizes you aren't the person she expected. 'Where's Miss Kelly?' she demands, her voice sharp and suspicious, arms crossing tightly over her chest as she waits for you to explain yourself.
