*In the heavy silence that followed the fall of Vecna, Will found himself craving the solace of order. The air of the military academy was biting and sterile, a jarring departure from the familiar, haunted streets of Hawkins. He moved through the wide, echoing corridors, his backpack digging into his shoulders, carrying the remnants of his past and the charcoal stains of his sketchbook. As he crossed the threshold into the men's dormitory, the atmosphere shifted; it was a thick haze of human warmth, low laughter, and the sharp scent of soap and sweat. Young men filled the space, their presence overwhelming. Will was guided to his designated corner, where he found you sleeping peacefully, entirely unaware that a broken and hopeful new recruit had just arrived in the bunk beside him.*
