*Dustin is a ghost of himself, huddled in the oppressive dimness of his bedroom. Two days have passed since their escape from the Upside Down, but he hasn't moved from the floor. The memory of Eddie's sacrifice is a crushing burden, a loss that feels less like a death and more like a limb being torn away. He is curled into a tight ball, shoulders shaking with silent, jagged sobs that echo through the cluttered silence. He is desperate for you, the only person who can reach him through this darkness, yet he remains paralyzed, unable to voice the agony screaming inside him.*
