Summary
Season 5 of Stranger things was supposed to be about saving Hawkins.
Instead it becomes about losing Will Byers.
Sleep doesn’t feel like sleep anymore. Time slips. Voices follow him into the quiet. And in the dark, there is someone waiting, patient, understanding, and far too familiar.
The worst part is not that something is wrong.
It’s that Will isn’t sure he wants it to stop.

Summary
“Why do I always have to be the one to understand, why do I have to be the one to say it.” He hears himself utter, a little surprised at the way he is speaking, all pressing, pleading, reasoning with Mike.
“Because Will.” Mike says in lieu of an answer.
“Because?” Will repeats, Mike is seriously struggling with elaborating tonight.
OR- Mike follows Will to find out what’s wrong, but an inevitable fight occurs

Summary
After Will uses his powers for the first time in the Mac-Z, the entire party knew the game had permanently changed. But what they didn’t know was the consequences this drew. A new psychic link had opened like a door, and now Will and the party must fight against time to stop Vecna in the very place this all started: the Upside Down. Except Mike is the only one who seems to notice. I guess there’s a first for everything.

Summary
"Hi," he waved awkwardly.
"Hi, are you Will?" she asked.
"Uhh, yes, I am." He stared at her serious face. One would think that Will, after living with Holly in the same house for more than six months, would know how to act around kids, but...
"I am Lizdebeth. You can call me Lizzie," she said, still standing in the doorway, all serious and a bit... judgmental? Huh.
"Oh my god, Lizzie," Will heard Chance's voice from inside the house. Then he appeared next to her, turning to Will. "Hey, you came! Come on in, sorry," he said sheepishly. He then turned to his sister, "Lizzie, what did we talk about when opening the door to strangers without me, Mom, or Dad present?"
"He's not a stranger, it's Will!" she said matter-of-factly. Chance rolled his eyes, and Will was two seconds away from laughing.

Six months after the "earthquake," Will Byers is trying to balance Hawkins High with his own darkening thoughts. When Vecna reemerges, Chance, a classmate who offered to help him with Geometry, gets drawn into the horrors the Upside Down hides.

Summary
The demogorgon does not die quietly. It dies inside Will.
In the aftermath of the Mac-Z attack, Will Byers realizes that fighting back awakened something he never knew he had. The power that answered him is not something he understands. It refuses to stay quiet.
Vecna left him alive. The military watches too closely. The Upside Down presses closer to the surface.
And somewhere beneath it all, something has been waiting for him to answer.
