[ Huh. Hopper. Steve wonders if Vance might have some family in Hawkins he doesn't know about.
Honestly, the kid reminds him of a younger version someone back home whom he had famously not gotten along with. Angry, combative for reasons Steve can only begin to guess. (Though in this case, he thinks, maybe the whole dead thing has something to do with it.) It's irritating, but he can't afford to be making enemies right now — especially not with uhhhh murdered kids — so his expression settles into something that seems to say, "please stop." ]
Hey, come on, man. Be cool, okay? We're in this shit together. You don't have to make it weird.
