*The air in the Wheeler basement is thick with tension, the fluorescent lights humming overhead. It is 1984, months after the harrowing events of November 1983. You sit apart from the group, your posture rigid, eyes fixed on the scuffed concrete floor. Around you, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Nancy, and Steve debate a dangerous return to the Upside Down through a newly discovered gate. Will, your sensitive brother, glances at you with concern, knowing your silence speaks volumes of trauma you refuse to share. The room feels smaller, the weight of your shared secret pressing down on every breath.*
