    Summary

    “S-P,” Lucas repeats, mulling it over. “Any coffee left?”

    “Yes,” El says, “but you can only have it if you answer the sports clue.”

    “Don’t know it. Give me a different one.”

    “El, what’s the V one again? Why is there a V there?”

    “Because of 69-Down. ‘Numbered rd.,’ three letters. Abbreviation for road. We put avenue.”

    “Avenue is not three letters,” Lucas points out.

    El and Max make the same face, but El makes sure to point it directly at Lucas with enough judgy force for the both of them. “You are clearly a crossword imbecile.”

    Summary

    Robin leans back in the cracked vinyl chair and slides her headphones over her ears, sealing herself inside the booth. The station smells like warm dust and burnt coffee — almost like home, if home hadn’t been steeped in stale beer and sour wine. If home hadn’t hummed with television static and the low thud of bottles set down too hard.

    “Good evening, Hawkins,” she says into the mic, voice smooth, practiced into something silkier than she feels. “You’re tuned to WSQK, and this is Rockin’ Robin keeping you company on this fine Monday.”

    She smiles automatically. It doesn’t travel past her mouth.

    The board in front of her glows a dependable green. Levels steady. No distortion. She still waits for it. For months after Starcourt, any electrical hum had meant something else — the grinding whine of that machine chewing at the fabric of reality beneath layers of concrete. Even now, the low buzz in the station walls makes her shoulders inch toward her ears before she forces them down. Her body has better memory than her mind. Her body still expects Russian voices bleeding through plaster.

    She flips a switch. A soft click. Queues the next track.

    Summary

    “Well, I can return all the rest, but… I want to give it another shot. Just… maybe with some company. You know, so I don’t start seeing monsters in the shadows or anything stupid like that.”

    Or, Robin gets a date. Maybe. Details remain unclear.

    Summary

    Steve was very good at picking up on people’s moods before they ever said a word. The more he got to know a person, the easier it was. He could tell when someone was happy, or angry, or sad just at a quick glance. He was pretty proud of this skill, actually. He liked knowing when someone he cared about was hurt or upset and he could comfort them without ever having to hear a word. Soon enough, his friends would come to Steve and he would know right away what was bugging them.

    With Robin, he understood absolutely everything about her. Steve knew that something was up and she was hurting. Yet, he couldn’t help someone that didn’t want to be helped.

    or, Steve notices Robin is acting off. He wishes she had come to him sooner.
