Summary
It takes a few moments, but eventually Maya wipes at her cheeks and peers up from beneath her curtain of hair. Her skin is blotchy, and stray blonde strands stick stubbornly to her face. Around her eyes are smudges of dark makeup, making her slightly resemble a sickly raccoon.
Despite all this, his heart still skips a beat at the sight of her.

Summary
Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.
"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.
He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."
"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a creative writing student in college, but his stories make no sense. Plotholes, foreshadowing that goes nowhere, random details that mean nothing, character moments with no payout, and unfulfilling endings. His professor suggests taking a mixed media elective to get inspiration from other kinds of stories. He chooses a comic book art class to appease his best friend, Will Byers.
Will gets Mike through his writer’s block by helping him realize he deserves a happy ending in his own story too.

Summary
A while ago, El watched a movie where a man took the hands of an actress with a pretty smile into his own. I’m mad about you, he told her, feverishly. He didn’t sound angry, not really– but that’s what he said. Mad. El came to her conclusion, then.
The heat in her cheeks must mean that she is mad about Max.
The first time El sees Max, she sweeps her off her feet. Over the next few years, Max returns the favour.
