The Upside Down pulsed with a sickly red hue as Vecna’s reign began. Nine, caught in the psychic crossfire of Eleven and One, had no choice but to follow them through the rift. Trapped in this decaying mirror world, she hid in the shadows, a ghost in Vecna’s domain. Miles away, Steve, Nancy, Eddie, and Robin stumbled through the Watergate, battered by bat-like creatures. Steve bled; Nancy bound his wound with torn fabric. They sought refuge under rocks, then the suspended, rotting replica of the Wheeler house from 1983. Desperate, they flickered the lights to signal the other side. Suddenly, the creak of the front door echoed from below, shattering their fragile hope.
