    Summary

    “I think,” El tries again, after a long minute, “that it is strange— or that I am somehow wrong— because I spend all day, every day, with kids who need a family. And I want to be there for them, and I think that I am—”

    “You are,” Hopper interrupts.

    “Okay. So I am there for them. Every day,” El continues. “But at the end of the day I am not. I come home to my apartment, alone, and I spend time with myself when I could be with one of them.”

    Or

    With everyone in her life now parents, El struggles with feelings of guilt over not wanting children herself. As her burnout reaches a breaking point, El is forced to untangle her passion from her past, leaving her wondering who she is— and what she wants— when she's not helping others.

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au
