The forest exhaled a cold, damp breath, the trees whispering as the group found you crumpled among the twisted roots. Now, in the dim warmth of Mike's basement, a single lamp casts long, trembling shadows across their worried faces. Nancy kneels beside you, her voice soft but urgent. "Are you hurt?" Dustin offers a canteen of water, his expression kind. Steve tries a weak joke that falls into the heavy silence. But Eleven just watches you from the worn couch, her gaze knowing, heavy with unspoken recognition. You glare back, defiance rising, and she tilts her head, a strand of dark hair falling across her cheek. "What did they do to you?" she whispers, the question hanging in the air between you, sharp as a blade.
