Summary
The Battle of Starcourt has been won, but its aftershocks are still rippling. Separated from the rest of the Party, Will struggles with feelings of abandonment, while El is trying to find her place with the Byers and come to terms with the loss of her powers - and the closest thing she's ever had to a father. Back in Hawkins, life is slowly returning to normal, or at least as normal as life ever is. The Party are starting to adjust to having two of their members at a distance, though everyone's still missing El and Will, Mike most of all.
But life in Hawkins never stays normal for long. Someone - or something - is following Steve and Robin, and they may not be the only ones under surveillance. A spectre from El's past makes an unexpected - and unwanted - reappearance. And an old enemy may turn out to be much more than meets the eye.
And sometimes, the bad guys are smart, too.
Separated by miles and misunderstandings, with communications failing and their enemies somehow always one step ahead, Hawkins' strange little fellowship find themselves caught between holding on and moving forward. If they want to survive to see another November, they'll have to face the past - and each other.

Summary
"Do you want to try feeling inside me again?" Hikaru asks, eyes bright.
"Would I learn anything new, doing it again?" Yoshiki asks a little skeptically. He has tried it twice already, and if anything, he understands Hikaru less.
"Probably not," Hikaru says, but he hasn't moved, and his eyes remain fixed on Yoshiki.
Yoshiki knows that it would be colossally stupid. He's messing with things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't really need Kurebayashi's warnings to know it's dangerous for himself and those around him. He worries that with each brush against whatever lies beneath Hikaru's skin, he loses more of his humanity, that someday he'll be corrupted beyond recognition.
And yet, a part of him wants.
…
In which Yoshiki takes a break from research to try touching Hikaru again.

Summary
“Yoshiki was holding his breath. Hikaru thought that, if he pushed a little more, his friend would stop breathing altogether and he would finally have a reason to let his own affection rot with a dead body. But he shouldn’t think that.”
...
Yoshiki wants Hikaru as much as Hikaru wants Yoshiki.
Hikaru wishes he wasn't aware of that.

Summary
The Kageyamas were equals — but, when Teru entered the picture, they weren’t, for his reverence painted everything he did. Suddenly, Shigeo was tinged in gold, some savior, and Ritsu was left with little choice but to watch — feel the heat of a nearby fire threatening to singe his skin, a fire he smelled on his clothes, some days.
--
Ritsu sees a little too much of himself in Teru.

Summary
“Mob—!”
Shigeo's barrier shatters around him like a window. His shriek is cut off.
Reigen reacts. It might be the first time in his life that he reacted with his body before his brain.
An ill-fated job goes horrifically wrong. But not as wrong as it could have.

Summary
'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'
Or, -
"If I come out," Hikaru says, "all the way, you promise you won't be scared of me?"

Summary
There was this day—cold, late March, wind still mean—that stuck in Noelle’s mind like a grain of rice behind the gums.
She’d ducked into the corner store after school. Her mom didn’t like her going there, said the magazines by the register were trash and the cashier had too many piercings. But Noelle wanted a soda. Something sweet, just for her.
Kris and Susie were there already. Neither of them saw her. They were standing by the fridges in the back, heads close together. Susie was laughing at something Kris said. Kris’s hands were in their pockets, a little hunched, but their shoulders relaxed in that way they never were around anyone else.
And it was nothing. It was two people in a corner store. They weren’t touching, weren’t kissing, weren’t anything. But it was everything.
Noelle left without the soda.
