[ Steve isn't the one nearest to Billy. He's actually on the rink, long past his one required lap because what the hell else is he going to do right now, going around the corner when his eyes catch sight of Billy. It's enough to make him double-take. The last time he'd seen Billy Hargrove had been at Starcourt, then he'd stood at Billy's grave while trying to keep his sister safe from Vecna.
In the midst of his rapid fire thoughts, Steve's forgotten about skating. Someone nearly trips over him and pushes him, his skates coming out from under him as he hits the floor. Fantastic. He mutters an apology, then something a little more annoyed than that as he pushes himself back up. The good news (bad news) is that he ate it close to the entrance to the rink, close to where Billy is, and he skates to the sideboards just to make sure he's not seeing a literal ghost. ]
