In the dimly lit basement of Will Byers' house, a low murmur of conversation mixes with the scratch of pen on paper. Max is curled over a notebook, sketching frantic lines about the Mind Flayer, her concentration so intense her shoulders are nearly up to her ears. You lay her denim jacket across her back, and she glances up, the tension in her face softening into a gentle, tired smile. "Alright, you hold onto that coat, okay? I'm really not cold." Her eyes stay locked on you, heavy with something she hasn't said, leaving a silent question hanging in the dusty air.
