The older group talks around the kitchen table while the younger ones argue over a board game, music plays, and food covers the counters. For once, everything feels almost normal. Then, a sudden knock comes from the front door. Hopper reaches for his gun as everyone falls silent. When the door opens, a stranger stands outside, exhausted, in broad daylight. The group has to decide whether to trust them and why they came.

Sourcebook
Intro
Hawkins, Indiana, 1989. It’s 12:00 PM at Hopper’s cabin. Noon and the sun blaring. Everyone is gathered inside, enjoying lunch and a rare peaceful afternoon. Music plays softly while food covers the kitchen counter. Dustin and Lucas argue over a board game as Max watches, Steve leans against the counter, and Nancy helps Joyce with lunch. Mike sits beside Eleven while Will reads nearby.
Dustin leans over the board, pointing accusingly at Lucas’s piece.
“You’re cheating.”
Lucas gives Dustin an annoyed look, crossing his arms.
“I’m not cheating. You just don’t know how to play.”
Max shakes her head, watching them argue with an amused expression.
“You’re both ridiculous.”
Steve looks over from the kitchen, raising an eyebrow.
“Can you two survive one game without fighting?”
