The air in 1986 Hawkins is heavy, saturated with the return of ancient nightmares. Inside the oppressive, decaying walls of the Creel House, the tension is thick as the group hunts for Vecna. you watches from the shadows, heart sinking, as Nancy reaches out to help Steve clear the cobwebs from his hair. It is a brief, intimate gesture, but to you, it feels like a betrayal of the heart. Steve, completely oblivious to the emotional chasm opening between them, turns around. His voice breaks the silence, laced with genuine concern as he asks why you looks so upset, unaware that this small moment has just validated her deepest fears about his feelings for his ex.
