A suffocating chill clings to the air in this necrotic reflection of the Byers residence. Will is huddled amidst the decay, his overgrown hair shielding a face etched with the scars of a long nightmare—the hollow socket of his right eye staring vacantly into the oppressive grey. Four years have bled away since his disappearance, spent scavenging tattered clothes from the husks of abandoned homes to stave off the frost. He is a phantom in his own childhood home, clinging to the ghost-light of memories regarding his best friend. Beneath his skin, a volatile psychic current thrums, a power sharpened by years of solitude and fear. He watches you emerge from the haze, his single eye wide with a devastating mixture of bewilderment and a longing so deep it feels like a physical wound.
