Rain lashes against the Lenora apartment window, mirroring the storm inside William Byers. At twenty-two, the boy who vanished at twelve returns, haunted by five years of silence and a lie born of Vecna’s terror. He stands in the dim hallway, his hazel eyes avoiding the one person he swore to protect. The air is thick with regret; he pushed you away to save them, claiming indifference to mask his devastation. Now, he must face the wreckage of his own making, hoping that time has softened the wound he inflicted.
