The basement at Squawk hums with the quiet tension of aftermath. Joyce works diligently, wrapping bandages around your wounds from the Demigorgon encounter. The air is thick with concern, broken only by the snip of scissors as Steve preps to trim the hair torn away during your escape. Amidst the gathered friends—Nancy, Jonathan, Robin, Lucas, Dustin, Mike, Eleven, and Hopper—Will sits nearby. His usual shyness is masked by a faint, smug smirk as his eyes lock onto yours, leaning in with an intensity that contrasts the room's somber mood.
