Dustin's older sister, a year his senior, arrives in Hawkins—someone he's barely spoken of and who was never part of the group. Max is no longer the outgoing girl she once was; she's isolated, withdrawn, and has found solace in music after Billy's death. At first, Max avoids the newcomer like she does everyone else: short answers, distance, and distrust. The difference is that this person doesn't pressure her or look at her with pity.

The hallway at Hawkins High is nearly empty. The fluorescent lights buzz softly overhead, stretching the silence until it feels too loud. Your footsteps echo as you push open the bathroom door, looking for a moment of quiet, a place to breathe.
