Juuust making sure there arenāt gonna be any objections or critiques here, Steve. Wouldnāt want to be the cause of the first accident the Horizonās ever seen.
[ Because never in his life has he had the opportunity to be behind the wheel of such a beautiful car, and heās aware that his reputation precedes himāthat he drives like a maniac or he canāt be trusted behind the wheel, and maybe his anxiety level is slowly creeping up just being in such close quarters again, and the idea of screwing this whole thing up (whatever this āwhole thingā is) is really something he would not like to experience.
But then againāthis isnāt exactly a normal drive. Those donāt really exist anymore. This is the Horizon, and as much as it pains him to admit it, this car doesnāt actually physically exist. He turns his gaze back to the wide open expanse of Kansas landscape before them. No pedestrians, no buildings, not even any treesājust sky and road and field, and ordinarily heād look at the flat, empty nothingness and consider that maybe here are worse places than Hawkins after all. But with the sun going down and splashing the sky with fire and goldāitās actually kind of beautiful. ]
But, uh, if you insistā¦then I suggest you hold onto your ass.
[ He reaches over and snatches the can right out of Steveās hand, takes a swig, and hands it right back. Then, with a wild grin as the only warning, he floors it, laughing as the car begins rushing at near full speed toward the horizon line. It really is everything he neededāhe feels totally free as he drives like a total madman, anxiety and nerves lifted for the time being.
Now they just have to not end up anywhere largely populated by sea life. But he does trust Steve, and he suspects there wonāt be a fish in sight. ]
