Summary
El furrows her brow. She’s fallen into step with him, a few paces behind the rest of the Party. “Anyways. I wanted to tell you I figured it out.”
“Figured what out?”
“Why you don’t like Jennifer.”
“I already told you that, remember?” Mike complains. “When you grilled me about it earlier?”
El ignores him and carries on, looking pleased with herself. “You don’t like her because you are jealous. You want to be Will’s girlfriend.”
Will Byers is dating Jennifer Hayes, and it's ruining Mike Wheeler's life.

Summary
“We haven’t done this since middle school,” Will says, voice barely above a whisper.
“Huh,” Mike whispers back. “Yeah, guess not.”
A couple years ago, Mike read a National Geographic article about a phenomenon called the polar night. In the farthest north and south regions of the globe, there are weeks, sometimes months depending on how close you are to the poles, where the sun does not rise above the horizon, plunging the world into a perpetual nighttime. Living in such conditions, the article had explained, can affect one’s circadian rhythm, heighten issues with concentration and energy levels, and cause a spike in depressive symptoms among local populations. Some resort to using light therapy lamps to mimic the daylight.
It was only after the Byers moved away, all those years ago, that Mike began to understand what the prolonged absence of the sun can do to a person.
The Upside Down is gone, and everyone has made it out unscathed. In the aftermath of the not-so-end of the world, snowballs turn into avalanches. Sometimes it just takes time.

“You need to stop having sex with your boyfriend.”
“Excuse me?”
“I know I was the one who suggested it, and I know you have good intentions,’ Robin continued to his mortification. “But it really hasn’t been helping. In fact, I’d say it’s gotten worse.”
“You have pavloved Mike into yelling at us,” Lucas cut in, impatient. “It’s sick. It’s cruel.”
