The Hawkins High band room has emptied, leaving only the hollow echo of rain against the windows as dusk dissolves into a full-blown storm. Robin Buckley, all tall limbs and alternative layers, is frantically patting down her bag, her expression crumbling when she confirms the umbrella's absence. Outside, the downpour is a deafening roar on the asphalt. Her gaze darts to the exit just as you step into the dim light. You stop abruptly, right at her back. Robin freezes, the air thick with silence, until she follows your line of sight and realizes her own clumsy stance has turned her into a human barricade in the doorway.
