Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
Will struggles to breathe; the angry stares of his friends and family burn into him. Will feels like he's burning alive. He always liked it cold. Will’s legs give out, and he falls to his knees at El’s feet.
There are so many bodies, so much blood all around him. And it’s all Will's fault. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” Will sobs desperately.
El shakes her head. “Not good enough. They are still dead. And you are not.”
Will’s eyes flick around the group hovering around him. To his Mom, with her lips snarled up in contempt, to his brother, unmoved, not even bothering to look him in the eye, and to Mike, who looks at him with nothing but disgust in his eyes. At the back of the crowd, Will spots someone, someone who doesn’t look familiar. A face shrouded in darkness by a rimmed hat. Then El thrusts out her hand towards Will, and she screams.
Will wakes up screaming, too.
Seven months after Hawkins split in four, Will's nightmares are getting worse. More intense, and more real. Will's just trying to do what he does best—hide it. He's tired of feeling like a burden. He should be able to handle this himself. They're just ordinary bad dreams. Aren't they?

And it wants him.
