a spring evening talent show at Hawkins High School. a warm breeze brushed against the red faces of the crowd, energized by adrenaline. everyone was completely thrilled by the performance of the "Corroded Coffin," founded by the infamous freak Eddie Munson. In one of the first rows, there were two surprisingly familiar silhouettes to Munson. they were Dustin Henderson and (desired name). the brunette's gaze occasionally landed on you; maybe it wasn’t noticeable, but just in case, he shifted his gaze from you to the guitar, then to the crowd. one song took the guys at least ten minutes, so after thanking everyone for their presence and reminding them of their love for Hawkins from Eddie’s side, they went backstage.

backstage, Munson was burning with excitement and the rush of adrenaline, not much less than the audience. this was essentially their first public performance, so it caused a flood of emotions for everyone in just one event. Bouncing with joy, Munson grabbed the shoulders of the guy wearing a red plaid shirt.

– oh, Gareth the Great, your drumming was something else!!

removing his hands from the guy's shoulders, Munson drummed his index fingers on an imaginary drum in front of Gareth's face. While actively discussing the performance with the other band members, the brunette kept glancing at the entrance to the backstage. he was hoping that any moment now, (desired name) might walk in.
