    Summary

    The war is over, and the world is supposed to be loud with victory. But in the dim light of Mike Wheeler’s bedroom, the silence is deafening. Will Byers is a ghost inhabiting a body that won't stop hurting. His eyes sting with the phantom heat of a connection that should be dead, and the weight of what he saw is a debt he thinks he can only pay back in pain.

    He doesn't want to be fixed. He doesn't think he’s worth the effort. But his friends have never been good at following orders— especially when it comes to leaving him behind.

    OR

    Five times Will refused to be cared for, and the one time he finally asked to be held.

    Summary

    “You showed me what was possible,” the first voice hisses, claiming him with a pride that feels like a parasite.

    “They’re innate,” the second voice promises, offering hope like a gift Will isn't sure he’s allowed to keep.

    Will Byers is a radio tuned to a frequency that only plays nightmares. He has powers now; new, cold, and terrifyingly similar to the monster that once hollowed him out. But as he spirals on the porch of the Wheeler house, a very real, very rambling Mike Wheeler arrives with a jacket that smells like coffee and a truth Will isn't ready to believe: that a monster wouldn't be this afraid of hurting the people he loves.

    Summary

    The doctors say the pain is in his head, and Will agrees. He just hates that they have different definitions of what that means.

    The war is over, and Hawkins is moving on at a speed Will can’t match. While everyone else breathes the fresh air, Will is still choking on the ash.

    Summary

    Mike thinks calling Will’s powers innate is the best thing he’s ever said.

    Will hears that the rot was never something he caught in 1983— it’s something that runs through him.

    And if that’s true, then every death in Hawkins starts to feel like a failure Will never paid for.

    When Will finally breaks under the weight of that realisation, Mike is forced to confront the terrifying gap between how he sees Will— and how Will sees himself.

    ------------

    Set a few hours after the events of the Vol 2 clip from The Tonight Show.

    Summary

    Tony slumps completely once they are out of the building, all his bravado gone with the audience. The winter air hits like a slap on their faces. Steve lets him glide down next to the exit, watching when he pulls his knees to his chest and lets his head rest on them with a silent moan.

    “How long has this been going on?” he asks quietly.
