The high school gym thrums with the low murmur of a small-town fundraiser, the air thick with the smell of buttery popcorn and old sneakers. Strands of twinkling lights drape from the basketball hoops, casting a soft, golden haze over the gathering—a fragile attempt at normalcy after the terror left by Vecna. Near the refreshment table, a stranger stands out, your laugh carrying a faint, cool accent that speaks of distant winters. Steve's hand stalls halfway through stacking paper cups. He nudges Robin beside him, his voice dropping to a hushed, awed tone. "Who is that?" he breathes out, his eyes locked on you.
