    Summary

    There's something about this girl, like looking in a funhouse mirror a third of his size. “Oi, kid,” Toji says. “It’s you, isn’t it?”

    The girl glares daggers at him from behind a pair of red-rimmed glasses too big for her tiny face. She’s looking at him like he’s totally crazy, which isn’t entirely untrue. “Huh? Who the heck are you?”

    In lieu of answering, he asks, “What’s your name?”

    The girl scowls. “Maki.”

    “Maki,” he repeats, and it’s like a missing piece of his soul falls back into place. The record of his life before he fought the Six-Eyes brat is a long, impossibly white scroll of nothing -- but written on it in faint letters is the name of a child, a child with a delicate name that brushed the heavens, spun a prayer into letters; a name that began with an M, and it ended in i, too.

    “Maki,” he says again. “I think you’re my daughter.”

    --------

    Toji makes a mistake. It changes everything.

    Summary

    Eddie's a little high, heading home after a gig, when he spots a Camaro swerving down the road. Shortly thereafter, is Billy Hargrove staggering along the shoulder.

    Billy just wanted to get his stupid little "sister" home before Neil could hand him a real ass-beating. Now he's gotta find his car and an explanation.

    Steve's way too out of it for this shit. He's pretty sure Billy just killed a demodog with his bare hands and somehow Eddie Munson is here and pulling the kids out of the tunnel.

    Summary

    But then by some sick twist of fate, Billy didn’t die. Getting stabbed all over by some giant mind-controlling monster didn’t do him in. Instead- according to Max- a bunch of people who apparently knew all about the so-called Mindflayer swooped in and brought him to a private military base where they saved Billy’s life.

    They called it a miracle.

    Billy called it penance.

    Or

    After surviving the mindflayer Billy stops talking.

    Summary

    Billy's been in the Upside Down for long enough to know how to survive it.

    Eddie died, he's sure he did. So why, when he opens his eyes, is Billy Hargrove looming over him?

    Steve should know once is happenstance, twice is coincidence. But is it really coincidence that the only boys he's ever crushed on have sacrificed themselves to the Upside Down? Or is it something more?
