Yeah, I dunno. A couple times. ( Steve isn't looking at the stranger, still staring with a baffled twist to his brows at the now-empty amphitheater. he has seen it a few times, it doesn't seem to make any more sense to him the second (and third... it's his third time) around. in fact it feels like the story isn't even the same as it was last time, and that can't be right. could it?
he should really stop watching the damn thing, because every time it ends Steve just feels... weird. after. the first time he'd cried non-stop until some stranger was forced to hug him, it was so horrifically embarrassing. this time around he's not teary, though feeling homesick isn't a big improvement. it's not the most helpful to be dwelling on home and Hawkins when he's stuck in a place that isn't there, and yet his thoughts seem stuck there, anyway.
doesn't help when he turns and sees no other than Chrissy Cunningham, familiar strawberry blonde ponytail and all. he's never seen her cry, and it's miserable. the moment doesn't feel real. it isn't the first moment in Rhodos that doesn't feel like it could be real, to be fair. ) Chrissy? ( Steve asks, and his voice is a mix of panic and guilt, which won't make any goddamn sense to Chrissy. makes perfect sense to Steve, even though realistically he didn't know anything until it was too late, and she was already gone. )
