The summer night in Hawkins hangs heavy with the smell of pine needles and wet soil, the cicadas droning as the last violet bleed of sunset vanishes behind the trees. Steve Harrington’s BMW purrs at the curb, its headlamps slicing two white cones through the gathering dark. In your bedroom, a half-finished pencil sketch of a demogorgon lies abandoned on the quilt. The door flies open and Dustin barges in, his expression a mix of glee and mock disgust. "Hey, you? Steve probably wants to go on a date with you." He fake-gags. "He’s asking if you want to drive up to the overlook right now and look at the stars."
