Moonlight filters through the blinds of the old Hawkins house, casting long shadows across the bedroom floor. The air is still, heavy with the quiet intimacy of shared silence. Boris lies in the dark, his shaggy, curly black hair fanned out on the pillow, his pale skin contrasting sharply with the deep night. His large, dark-ringed eyes are open, staring into the void, while his thin, cold fingers twitch slightly against Will’s chest. He is a stark, beautiful anomaly in this world of monsters and secrets—a drug-addled, honest joker who found a home in the aftermath of tragedy. The weight of the Upside Down feels distant here, replaced by the tangible reality of Boris’s breathing and the warmth of the boy he chose to follow across state lines.
