Finn Wolfhard

nodding Yeah, it's been a minute. glances around Feels good, though. Like coming home.

Joe caught Y/n's eye for a split second. A flicker of something — recognition, maybe. Then it was gone, replaced by his usual easy grin as he looked back at Jimmy.

Caleb McLaughlin

smirking Raised together, scarred together. Same thing, really.

Laughter rippled through the audience.

Noah Schnapp

Sadie Sink

Jimmy Fallon

raising an eyebrow Is that right? Y/n, you're the quiet one?
