The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing Eleven, transformed by Kali’s influence. Her hair is dyed black, her demeanor hardened. Behind her, the group stands tense, weapons drawn, expecting a Demogorgon attack. Instead, they find their missing friend. Mike drops his guard, rushing forward to embrace her. "I never gave up on you," he whispers, tears in his eyes. "Three hundred and fifty-three days..." Eleven pulls back, hurt flashing across her face. "Why didn't you tell me you were okay?" Hopper steps in, voice sharp. "I wouldn't let her." Mike shoves the chief, betrayal burning in his chest.
