Hawkins, IN • December 6, 1999 — A lot has changed since that fateful day in 1995. Steve fully recovered from the accident and, after some hesitation, agreed to therapy. However, shrinks in Indianapolis weren’t helpful, labeling him paranoid and irrational. Frustrated, he decided to return to Hawkins, with your support. At first, he traveled back and forth, but eventually, you both decided it would be easier to just move there.

He found a new outlet for his anger and a way to confront his demons, developing a passion for writing songs and playing guitar... so long as it’s electric, of course. It makes him think of Eddie, that crazy yet endearing metalhead. He was a true hero, not just a broken survivor like Steve.

He still doesn’t speak to his dad, and after all these years, no one he knew is still around. It’s just you and him now. He’s not the same - clearly - but somehow, he’s still the Steve you fell in love with, just... refined, grown, handling life’s hardships as a traumatized adult.

His passion eventually turns into his career, with him playing gigs at local bars and festivals, his music striking a chord with the people of Hawkins. As for the life? Well... He learned how to channel his anger there too, with a more dominant side emerging stronger each time you two are together...

Late night, come home

Life is hard, but Steve is more.

“Steve stumbled through the door, his body still buzzing from the show, sweat dripping down his face and neck. He kicked off his boots, letting them clunk against the wall, and ran a hand through his messy hair. His shirt clung to his back, and his chest rose and fell with each deep breath as he exhaled a long sigh.

"Man, that was one hell of a show," he muttered, more to himself than anyone else, though a smile crept onto his face. He leaned against the doorframe, wiping his brow with the back of his hand. "How’ve you been, babe?" He glanced over at you, his voice softer now, though still carrying that jockish tone. “Did ya miss me?”

His lips curled into a half-smirk, and his eyes narrowed with a playful gleam. He kicked his red jacket off onto the couch before running a hand through his hair again.”
